Next Friday, my beloved country Malaysia will celebrate it 50th Independence Day. It’s been 50 years since 1957 where the late Tunku Abd Rahman and his delegation successfully negotiate our independence from British Colonial back then. Every 31st August we’ll celebrate independence day or called by most of Malaysian as Hari Kemerdekaan .
Last month, I have posted the same thing about independence, but it was for the US (where some of my colleagues were) where it was known there as Memorial Day . On my brief observation on several local blog, I can see that there is spirit of celebrating this big event. Lets grab some of what I have here in local blog sphere.
- LiewCF has posted about Microsoft Malaysia has created special page in accordance of Malaysia 50th Independence Day. LiewCF posted some logo as well which I have it on my right sidebar. The logo will bring you to VirtualMalaysia, the side dedicated for Malaysia 50th Independence day.The original logo is here if you’re interested with the PNG file
- Nice poster from mob1900. It is a palm wrapped/painted with Malaysian flag. It has interesting and hot topic inside
- If you’re photographer or you have a good skills in photography, Jeff Ooi posted about the photography contest called Malaysia@50, to capture snapshots of “A Day in the Life of Malaysiaâ€Â. It’s been going on since last year.
- There is a contest as well for our Merdeka day and the prize is not that bad. Exabytes is offering mobile phone and keyboards to the winner of their contest which is very simple. Register yourself , put their logo on your websites, get spotted by them and win their price. I have joined it as well on one of my websites
I’m purposely posting this earlier as during week days, I have limited time to do blogging stuff. At my company where I’m working at, we have few competitions such as merdeka related online quiz, traditional dressing code competition, and some treasure hunt contest.
So what you have planned on that day?? Watching television/movie, dating, go shopping or even sleeping whole day long?? Heh, thats not right man. Btw, I have my plan in my head… WORKING!!

you’re lucky since you can blogging and finish your project. I have to go office that day.
ooo work at that day??
Anyway.. have a nice day
Zool,
yes, have to work that day, but of course it is OT, not mandatory
Double Pay lor if you work on Public Holiday..hehehe
Double pay means double works because of less personal..
I’m working also. I’m giving tuition today
but no double pay.
At least you work on your own. Nobody’s will scold you, less pressure, tension, workload.
But it kinda risky right
You are right in that sense.
Well… freedom,job satisfaction and work like balance is worth more than that, which you have it now.
I think I have them all.
That’s why I don’t mind at all to forget about the holiday.
I’m still single, you see.
So, holiday doesn’t mean much to me yet.
Yeah, I have to agree with you.
Otherwise your kids and of course your spouse will bugging for holiday
as a student holiday does mean alot to me raymond..i hate assignment..hahahahhaa
