Congratulations Malaysia and Malaysians on your National Day.
And for our Sabahan and Sarawakian brethrens, you celebrate your union with Malaya 16 days later only because Soekarno of Indonesia and Macapagal of Philippines protested to the UN, which forced us to delay merger by those 16 days, in order to conduct a last minute check on the wishes of the Sabahans and Sarawakians by the Cobbold Commission.
Thus 31st August is our true pre-planned/original National Independence Day whilst 16th September has been a date forced on us by foreigners.
The date of 31 st August was said by the late grandfather of former PM AAB to be an auspicious Islamic date for our Independence.
