Aug 31 and Sept 16 should be equally significant in the history of our country.
Aug 31 marks the attainment of independence from colonialism, while Sept 16 ushered the birth of a new and bigger nation called Malaysia although Singapore left the federation in 1965.
Ironically, under the 1Malaysia spirit, both dates should be equally significant in celebrating the formation of Malaysia.
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's announcement that Sept 16 will be a national public holiday and will be celebrated with activities to strengthen unity, racial understanding and the people's achievement in sports, social-culture, culture and others to light up the spirit of 1Malaysia is a most welcome development in the long run to celebrate the formation of Malaysia.
