On Aug 31st 1957, Malaya/Malaysia was born. It was a day of celebration, and people all around the country were out in the streets celebrating. Some were wearing their patriotic gear, and some were just having a good time.
In the back of a small cafe, a couple of people were sitting drinking and talking. One of the people was a bit older than the other, and he had a bit of an air about him. The older man said to the younger man, "I think it's time we started to think about what we want for Independence Day." The younger man looked up at him with wide eyes. "What do you mean?" he asked. "I mean, we've been living in this country ever since independence, and we've never really thought about what we want for ourselves," the older man said. "I think it's time we started to think about what we want for the country we're going to be living in for the rest of our lives." The young man was hesitant at first, but then he thought about it some more.
He realized that he wanted to be a part of a great country, and he wanted to be able to do things that were only possible in Malaysia. He agreed to the older man's plan, and they started to think about what they wanted for Independence Day. They came up with a lot of different ideas, and they all seemed to be great. But they didn't know how to make it happen. They didn't know how to get the government to do what they wanted. But they knew that they had to keep going because they knew that if they stopped, everything would be lost.
We continue to fight for freedom today, even as our government continues to weaken our liberties. We must never forget what it means to be free—to be able to do what we want when we want, and with whom we want. And we must never forget the sacrifices made by our ancestors, who fought and died so that we could have this day.
What do we really want for our independent nation? Is it to build our nation back on the right path morally and economically? I dream of this nation one day being free of corruption and malpractices. Improving our school education system as top 10 best education in the world. To produce a brave generation of thinkers and doers that will carry on the torch of the straight path, caringness, high integrity, well mannered and spreading great kindness in society. Lastly to clean up our lack of belief and faith towards the All Mighty one. The AllMighty is the King. So what's your dream for this beloved country? And how do you plan to make it happen? Would love to hear your comments.
