31st August 2007 our country celebrated our 50th year celebration but too my dismay all celebration were called of by our government because they wanted the people to go for the government held events. Which was in Dataran Merdeka and every Tom, Dick and Harry knows that going into KL during that time is like suicidal. Why spoil the fun for people like me who just want to go to the good ol’ Sunway Pyramid? Don’t get what the government is trying to do; doesn’t mean I’m not at Dataran Merdeka I won’t feel the spirit of Merdeka.
And on another sad note how many people do you see flying our Jalur Gemilang. It’s seriously saddening to see so little of them around. And sometimes to hear people say that by flying our flag you are supporting the ruling government, it’s just so saddening. How can flying a flag mean such a thing. Even if there were no BN, PAS, DAP, etc the flag will still remain as the symbol of our country.
Look at America, on the 4th of July you will see the streets filled with the Star Spangled Banner. Not all Americans like Bush or the ruling government but they still raise their flag with pride. We on the other hand won’t even stick the mini flags on our expensive cars.
The government should really look into this and not say which paper is politically link or not. If not by the time we celebrate our 100th year we would be lacking people to celebrate it with.
Till the next post.
