Merdeka!!! But the world is “mourning”..
August 30, 2006oday, 31 August is Malaysian 49th anniversary of independence. For those who didn’t know, Malaysia achieved its independence from the British in 31 August 1957. Malaysian might be rejoicing but those outside Malaysia are mourning. Why?
Cause it’s Lady Diana’s 9th anniversary memorium. She passed away tragically in 31 August 1997 in a High Speed car crash in France. I remembered I was a 17 years old studying in Hong Kong then, I watched every bit of the news, witnessed the memorial service especially the touching "Candle in the Wind" dedication by Sir Elton John and the funeral . Prince William and Harry were only 15 and 13 respectively. As if it was happened yesterday, can’t believe that 9 years had passed. How time flies…
Next year, Malaysia is going to celebrate it’s 50th National day. It is also Lady Diana’s 10th anniversary memorium… It is going to be HAPPY AND SAD day for me at the same time…
