Though as a nation we attained political freedom 55 years ago from our colonial master, there are many other freedoms that we have yet to win: freedom from poverty, deprivation, and the bane of corruption at various levels. What price political freedom if it doesn't include freedom from inequality, injustice and exploitation?
May we look forward for a better Malaysia as we celebrate this 55th Merdeka. In the pursuit to be a developed nation by 2020, let us not forget our principles of nationhood (Rukun Negara). Let us be reminded that this principles starts with the first fundamental principle that is "Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan" (Belief in God). It is important to establish this first principle right because the Bible says in Proverbs 9:10 (NLT) "Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment".
This Merdeka, I am glad to say - "Saya Anak Malaysia. Saya Anak Malaysia yang percaya kepada Tuhan"
