in a matter of days, Malaysia turns 50.
quo vadis then, Malaysia?
what does Merdeka mean to you?
i think it means more than waving a plastic flag and watching parades go by. or just enjoying the public holiday it brings, as i was reminded of this by someone not too long ago.
i think it means celebrating what makes us who we are. and i can say this openly - i m proud to be Malaysian, even if the country isn't perfect and there are things i wish we didn't do.
the future is in Malaysia, even if there is as brain drain going on and we are still in the throes of a massive colonial hangover.
more than food or culture or public holidays, the fact is this is home. and i have no other.
