The 1st Malaysia Day was celebrated yesterday, and will be looked forward every year on the same date. For the first time, it was officially launched as a public holiday to commemorate the historic formation of MALAYSIA. According to the New Straits Times reports, more than 40,000 people from all walks of life thronged Padang Merdeka in Kota Kinabalu. It was there in 1963 that the proclamation of Malaysia was made by the then chief minister, Tun Fuad Stephens, with the presence of the late Tun Abdul Razak Hussein representing the Federal Government.
Now, after 47 years of rapid developments, we are entering a new era... with the 1 Malaysia Concept. Our Prime Minister was quoted to have said that "all Malaysians, whether they are in the urban or rural areas, must be accorded the opportunity to excels in fields they have potential in".
So, in accordance to that, I wish my students...or rather MY BELOVED STUDENTS, please be prepared for anything and everything. The future is for you to plan, design and determine. The challenges and race for success are getting hotter and riskier. Only the best will make it. So....
Be ready for it!
And my best prayers for you all along the way.
