C'mon Everybody, Let's Celebrate!

by Bri Roozen

Or rather, that's the message that one certain assemblyman has been spreading today. Forty-six years ago today (well, yesterday Malaysia time) the country became one for the first time. In celebration of this event, political figures are calling to make September 16th a national holiday in remembrance of Sarawak, Sabah, and Malay's unification. The prime minister was expected to breakfast at the event along with around 5,000 other individuals to remember the holiday. The day continues to be recognized only unofficially, but it is the hope of one assemblyman with a fantastically unpronounceable middle name - Dominique Ng Kim Ho - that this will change.
