Let’s do our part to shape the nation

TOMORROW we celebrate our National Day. Although it is to be distinguished from the upcoming Malaysia Day (when Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore came together with the Federation of Malaya to form Malaysia on Sept 16, 1963, with Singapore subsequently breaking away two years later), this is still a day that has always been celebrated by all Malaysians nationwide.

As the familiar patriotic song, Malaysia Berjaya puts it: Dari Perlis sampailah ke Sabah, kita sudah Merdeka; Negara makmur rakyat mewah, kita sudah berjaya.
