Did it need to take 16 years to break a denial syndrome?Today is the watershed of Malaysian nationalism. The government of the day finally recognized Malaysia Day in the true sense of the word. PM Najib, the most far-sighted leader of Malaysia today, more than a month after September 16,2009, declared Sept 16, which is Malaysia Day, as a national holiday from next year.
We,right thinking Malaysians, laud his move to portray his administration as inclusive. This is what substance is all about. No rhetoric, no sloganeering and no playing to the UMNO gallery!
By making Malaysia Day a holiday he is now visibly indicating the importance of the Sabah and Sarawak's block of vote that gives the balance of politics between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in its favour.

All this 1-Malaysia and Declaring
16 September as a national holiday
are all bull shit. Assuming that BN did not lose the 2/3 majority will they be willing to accommodate? I won't think. To make 1-Malaysia a reality without taking race into consideration; just call Malaysian as Bangsa Malaysia or simply Malaysian. Barisan National is to made up of party without MCA and without MIC. Only UMNO called United Malaysian National Organisation. Any Malaysian can become Prime Minister.
