Happy birthday Malaysia!

It’s Malaysia Independence Day anniversary today. I want to take this opportunity to wish all Malaysians wherever you are a very happy and blessed merdeka day! There are so many things that we should be thankful for being born in land called Malaysia. For its peace, economy stability, political stability, and for the harmonious multiracial of its citizens.



There are of course lots of problems coming in our way unstoppably, but we managed to handle them wisely for the benefits of everyone. Be it internally or across the border with the outside world.

Just like the recent sparks with our neighbour. I think we have acted accordingly without turning the sparks into fire. We are brothers right? Muslims are brothers to each other. As written in al-Quran surah al-hujarat (49:10): “The believers are but a single brotherhood: so make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy.”

So in my opinion the true meaning of independence is actually how strong we obey/stick to the real teachings of Islam without being influenced by any other things. Nowadays we get on each other’s throat very easily ignoring the fact that we’re brothers, as we pursue our very own needs and importance.

Happy 53rd independence day! And be independent!
