This 31st August, 2013 will be Malaysia's 56th Independence Day.  All Malaysians will be celebrating this day of independence - and it's a Public Holiday.  I am sure all Malaysians aspire to live in peace and harmony with each other. There will always be some pinpricks here and there, between the various races and religions that make the nation of Malaysia - but if we are all mindful of each other's sensitivities and show tolerance, we will be able to bear these pinpricks as being part of the reality of a multi-racial and multi-religious nation.
I am of the opinion that we are that much more richer for the variety of cultures and religions.  We all must enjoy each other.  Life is to be savoured in all its variety.
