Merdeka

Malaysia is 48 years old today. Actually Peninsular Malaysia is 48. Sabah and Sarawak will only be 42 on September 16th Our history books say UMNO fought for our Independence. Really ah? I read somewhere that the British gave the country to UMNO under Tunku Abdul Rahman because Tunku accepted their terms. Some unknown freedom fighters were jailed for actually fighting the British government at that time.It was these heroes that fought for Malaya's independence. That was how history was taught by the people in power at the moment.When the British ruled us,they taught all the good things about the British rulers.How well they treated the natives. Now we rule our own country,history is Malaysian oriented.We learnt that the British were not so good after all.They just wanted to steal our land and riches. No matter who is right or wrong, we adopted many British ideas.We ,older generation speak and write in English.Read English papers,sing English songs,etc.Our government follows the British system. The only thing that Malaysia has to show for its freedom from the English is we use our National Language in government and schools.It has not helped our young people.They cannot compete globally. Until 2020 Good luck Malaysia.
