Today is 16-9-2011, the 48th Malaysia Day.But the first time Malaysia Day and Merdeka Day(Malaysia Independence Day) are celebrated together.
Happy Malaysia Day
My wish is that Malaysia and Malaysian will go forward as Malaysian with open and progressive mind as a global citizen.
No more issue like national hero...
No more Malaysian who are still with mind of Sri Vijaya or Malacca Sultanate era(forget the colonial control either under Protectorate or Crown Colony);
No more Malaysian who are still of Strait Settlement mentality(where some Malaysian are treated more superior than other Malaysian);
No more Malaysian who forget the history of the Japanese occupation(when people from different racial background and political orientation fighting for their home land);
No more Malaysian who are still dreaming in the colonial Malaya era(where the independence of nation has been forgotten, and still fearful of Emergency or communist phobia) ;
No more Malaysian who do not know Sabah and Sarawak(forget that we have fellow Malaysian over the sea);
No more Malaysian who forget about multi-religion( forget to respect the religion of other Malaysian);
No more Malaysian who forget of multi racial background(we may born difference, but having the same home land);
No more historically blind Malaysian; and frequent changes of history in school textbook, when students are blindly feed with wrong historical data;
A more open Malaysian society, where Malaysian will look at issues in different perspectives constructively;
And an open mind Malaysian to accept diversity.....
Undilah Malaysia....
The best gift for Malaysia today is the abolish of Internal Security Act....
Happy Malaysia Day

Merry Christmas, Penang
Christmas Day is the day to remember the birth of Jesus Christ. It is not Santa Claus day, not X'mas day.....but a day for the remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Christmas Carol sung in Aramaic: the language of Christ
Aramaic was the language spoken by Jesus Christ. In several countries in the Middle East (Iraq, Syria, Armenia) the Catholic faith is practiced by, amongst others, the Chaldean Church and the language they use is Aramaic. This video below is a Christmas Carol sung by the Chaldean Church in the language of Christ.
To listen to the Christmas carol in Aramaic language, the language of Jesus Christ; What a unique way to celebrate Christmas and remembrance the birth of Jesus Christ in his own language, Aramaic.
and the language that Jesus Christ speak, still remain....the language was once the language of peace and unity; now few remained and able to speak it....the language and the village remind us the cruel thing mankind had done in the middle east history...hope peace and salam will always be, not only in Christmas day, but always in human heart, regardless of who you are..the spirit of peace prevail... salam.....

Penang Thaipusam
Thaipusam in Penang is celebrated not only by the Indians who are Hindus, it is also celebrated by other races. Over the years, more and more Chinese are carrying the kavadis and also pray to Lord Murugan.
CJ Lilian who was at the Western Road/Waterfall Road Thaipusam stalls notice that PKR, DAP and even HRP/Hindraf have their refreshment stalls/booths. She talked to N. Ganesan who is Hindraf advisor to find out the objective of HRP at the Thaipusam.
CJ Lilian also asked a group of Chinese men why they take part in the Thaipusam and discovered that many of them had carried the kavadis for 7 to 8 years.
