Being a Malaysian, i got to enjoy the diversities from so many races in one country, Malaysia.... The food, ethnic, language and so much more.....
Beginning year 2010, September 16 is a federal holiday to commemorate the formation of Malaysia which consists of Peninsular Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak!!! (another plus-side, no school for a day!)
If you're want to know what's the holiday is about, here's a snip-bit (got from wikipedia :D)
Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.[1]
The formation of Malaysia was made possible through the introduction of the Malaysia Bill to the Malayan Parliament on July 9, 1963, and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on August 29, 1963.[1]
Prior to the formation of Malaysia, Singapore and North Borneo unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on August 31, 1963, thus coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the Malayan independence.
ANYWAY, WE FROM SOFROZEN.BLOG WISHING YOU HAPPY HARI MALAYSIA !!!!!
