I'm still wearing that "Malaysian" tag on me proudly. I still owe you a lot for who I am now.
If God knows everything that is about to happen and He can do everything, is He gonna do what He knows will happen or does He know what He's gonna do? Can He do something that He knew was not SUPPOSED to happen?

Mate,
I would like to point out a few things:
1. Malaysia was formed on Sept 16, 1963
2. Malaya got her independence in Aug 31, 1957
3. Since Malaysia ~= Malaya, Malaysia isn't 52 years old
4. You as a Sarawakian and Malaysian should know that
Cheers!
I am well aware of that, thanks for the reminder.
Guess its up to us to reeducate the whole of Malaysia on its age and rewrite all the History KBSM and KBSR syllabi, eh? U haf my support.
=)
Mate,
1. I reckon the KBSR and KBSM were spot on. I remember learning Malaysia being formed in 1963 in Form 3.
2. It is the politicians, Merdeka organisers and 'patriotic' people who push the myth that Malaysia is 52 years old (like the idea of Santa Clause and the tooth fairy. which some grown ups still believe in btw)
3. Or it might be a simple numeracy problem (Some people just can't subtract dates)
4. Whatever the root of the problem is, it drives the "brain drain" of our beloved Malaysia. Especially in the East, when we, East Malaysians can no longer stand the ignorance in the West
Cheers!
