So what has happened to the Merdeka day spirit of our fellow Malaysians? Have we really lost the pride of calling ourselves Malaysians? Are we just too distracted with fending for ourselves and our livelihoods that we are unable to express or show the gratitude towards this country in which we call home? Or have we succumb ourselves to petty politics and allowed the differences in opinions and our political stance to divide us and dampen our patriotism and love for the country.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my muslim readers and non readers a happy Ramadhan and a good fasting month ahead.

May we all obtain the true goal of fasting which is Taqwa.

To know more about Taqwa, you may read this article written by Ustaz Zaharuddin, a prominent Islamic Scholar of which I found to be very informative (It’s in Malay by the way).

Dear Friends,

That is correct. I am migrating to a new and unfamiliar territory. A place out from the comforts of state protectionism.

So what is dampening our Merdeka celebration spirit? Are we a nation who chooses to forget history? Have we become a nation who chooses to ignore about the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathers? Have we become individualistic and more concerned with bread and butter issues over national issues? Or is it simply because the path in which we have taken to progress as a nation since independence, fighting along the lines of communal politics and racial supremacy has run its course and distorted true unity and integration among Malaysians of all ethnics and race? Have we missed the chance to create a true Bangsa Malaysia that is color blind? I shudder to think of it.
