TO commemorate the nation's 56th birthday, Star2 presents Malaysia on a plate – complete with recipes (click on Little Fish, Big Taste, This Is On The Nose, and Puffed With Pride under our food column Don't Call Me Chef).
Also, remember Tan Hong Ming, the toothy Year One pupil in the acclaimed Merdeka commercial by the late Yasmin Ahmad? The boy captured the nation's heart as he professed his love for his schoolmate Umi Qazrina. It wasn't just the childhood innocence that moved us but the powerful message of acceptance and racial integration.
