KOTA KINABALU: Malaysians are urged to appreciate and understand fully the significance behind the date of Sept 16, 1963, which saw the birth of a nation called Malaysia, says Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

He said for decades, the focus has always been on Aug 31, 1957, adding that this date has been the anchor for the nations’ National Day celebrations, while Sept 16 is regarded as the closing to the event.
