Reflections on progress and unity


ON the eve of every anniversary of our independence day, we tend to recollect the past, contemplate the present and wonder about the future in our beloved country, Malaysia.

In many ways, it’s like how we all feel about our own birthdays. We are grateful for the many blessings we have enjoyed, and hope and pray that our regrets and concerns would be overcome in future.
