Malaysia Day

Yesterday September 16th,Malaysia turned 42. But few remembered that day. Every year we celebrate Independence Day on August 31st. That day is significant to the former Federation of Malaya,It was not so significant to Sabah and Sarawak.They got their Independence on Sept.16 1963,when the joined the Federation to become one nation called Malaysia. Since this is Malaysia's official birthday,why don't the Government declare it a National Holiday ? Our brothers in Sabah and Sarawak are not very happy because we force them to celebrate thier Independence on the same day that Malaya got its Independence. So sorry,but thats the way it is.
