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 Malaysia”. 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!!
