Daphne Iking, seen here in a traditional Kadazandusun outfit, weighs in on what it means to be Malaysian and the importance of Malaysia Day.
What does Malaysia Day mean to you?
When I was younger, I didn’t really understand why my parents and elders were pushing for Malaysia Day to be acknowledged. Yes we have our National Day and that is great, but Sabah and Sarawak became part of the Federation in 1963. This is a very important milestone and that’s why I think it’s very important to acknowledge and recognise it.
