I thought coming back for a holiday in West Malaysia I could enjoy the Malaysia Day celebration with joy. Unfortunately, to my surprise there was no activity at all over in Penang or Butterworth! It was all silent.
Disappointed with such atmosphere, I could not imagine it was just a day not as good as normal Sunday week end etc. Perhaps everybody was busy attending the celebration in Sabah. With the PM, Ministers and the Opposition parties all centered there.
Finding the day dull and called up friends in Sarawak in Sibu, it was just the same and very quiet. Perhaps the Federal Government needs to focus more of Malaysia Day next year and make it more than than the Merdeka day as the whole nation celebrates the day instead of West celebrates Merdeka while the East celebrates Malaysia Day!
