The day that long forgotten
0
Each 31 August, we as a Malaysian citizen celebrate the date because it’s awkward to forget it as our independence day. Yup, we celebrate it in various way…either shouting “Merdeka” sharp at 12 midnight, gathering in some places, a parade and others. We do realize that it’s so hard to achieve it without a sacrifice to make. Although it’s written in history that we achieve it without spilling blood, but the sacrifice is inevitably. To achieve and to maintain is two different things. Some might say that to maintain is a lot harder. To some extent, I agree. Even after 31 August 1957, there is a lot of hassle and fuss to deal with because of the “maintain” factors.
