Today 16th September is Malaysia Day.
Giving the fasting month as an excuse, there is no extra-ordinary events lined up to remind us of the significance of the day.
Likewise, it was never an occasion in the past for celebrations, especially for us this side of the South China Seas.
Reading through some write ups on the formation of Malaysia, it crosses my mind that not many on the Peninsular values the significance of the additional two states into one Malaysia.
Many still harbours the thoughts of Singapore leaving us and how Singapore is nowhere near us.
Many are still asking the same question.."How come Singapore can do it?".
Will Sabah and Sarawak leave us in the future?
How come Brunei managed to keep out of it and yet remain strong?
I may be wrong in thinking about these.
Who am i to think on behalf of the people of Sabah and Sarawak?

Whatever is going to happen in the future is only known by ALLAH S.W.T. But our leaders must give cognisance to the feelings of Sabahans and Sarawakians. We must not allow the disparities in development to be widened, especially in providing the rural areas adequate infrastructure and services.
Our leaders must go down to the ground more often and see with their own eyes what the people in the rural areas need and remedy their problems speedily.Otherwise the same which happened to S'pore can happen for the two component states.
