Remembering a tragedy


ON this day in 1963, the world saw the historic formation of Malaysia when Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore came together.

While we tender our congratulations on this day, we would also like to remind Malaysians and the world of another historic event that took place on Sept 16: It was on this day in 1982 that the world saw the beginning of the Sabra and Shatila massacre in the Middle East.
