Happy 44th Birthday to MALAYSIA

Today is the 44th anniversary of the formation of MALAYSIA.

However, most Malaysians do not celebrate this event and many, especially in Peninsular Malaysia are not aware of such event in 1963 at all.

I won't be surprised if East Malaysians always feel left out when we only celebrate 31 August 1957 and neglect 16 September 1963. 31 August 1957 has nothing to do with MALAYSIA as MALAYSIA did not exist at that point in time. 16 September is probably a more appropriate date to celebrate our nationhood as all Malaysians can celebrate it together.
