Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia.

Merdeka!!!...Merdeka!!!...Merdeka!!!

Here is the summary of the Malaysian Bishops' message for the 50th Merdeka Anniversary.
Be Catalysts of Nation Building
KUALA LUMPUR : The Catholic Bishops of Malaysia call upon everyone to not to be dispirited by the recurring problems in Malaysia. Instead they urge all of us to be catalysts of nation-building especially by promoting interracial and inter-religious harmony. The bishops cite three areas of concern, namely religious and racial tensions, corruption and a rising crime rate. They urge the government and elected Representatives of Parliament and State Legislatures as custodians of the rights of all Malaysians to address these issues directly. They also ask the Government to be more proactive in the eradication of corruption and more transparent in its administration of public funds and projects as well as to reform the Royal Malaysia Police Force for effective implementation of a better policing system.

Among the many meaningful advertisement by Petronas for Merdeka, the one i posted below which was on Malaysian television a few years ago is the best.

I pray that the values encouraged through this advertisement will soon be achieved in the country. Malaysia is unique indeed for the many races, cultures and religions that exists side by side. So lets all unite, be Malaysian first.




Let the nations praise you, o God,
let all the nations praise you!
-Psalm 67 (66) vs:3.
