Merdeka?

Everyone calls 31st August Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia. I think they're wrong. Well, I'm not the best student in History subject, but as far as I concern, Tunku Abdul Rahman never stated 31st August 1957 as Malaysia's Independence Day, but rather Tanah Melayu's. So when is actually Malaysia's? 16th September 1963? Now that's something to think about.

Well, no matter what, I'm wishing all Malaysian a late 'Selamat Hari Kebangsaan'. Enjoy it while you still can.
