52 Years of Independence

E-mail Print PDF

After 52 years of Independence, Malaysia has developed in style. A development that was attained so quickly and dynamically. The stability of the economy and unity of races is the key to the flawlessness of independence passed. The people benefited from the distribution of political stability, a wealthy economy and social justice that is the same and equal. Education continues to aim the people to become modern, civilized and respected. Malaysia is well recognised in the world as a progressing nation that is developing and stable.

A few landmarks such as producing the first national car Proton Saga that instigated the nation’s automobile industry, the building of the Kuala Lumpur Twin Tower that has been certified as the tallest building in the world, Sepang International Circuit which succeeded in bringing up the nation’s name in the Formula One car racing sport as well as Petronas in developing automobile related expertise, as well as other achievement milestones that should make the Malaysian people proud.

The preparation to face the cyber space era has been made by building the Multimedia Super Corridor which is comparable to Silicon Valley in the United States. The achievements of Malaysian citizens are also worth noting, when a group of mountain climbers succeeded in reaching the top of Mount Everest on 15 May 1997, swimming across the English channel on 3 August 2003, diving expedition in the north pole in 2003 and a solo expedition in conquering the Antarctica continent in 2004. On October 10, 2007, the first Malaysian astronaut has been sent to the International Space Station (ISS).

The voice of Malaysia was heard internationally once before, when Malaysia pioneered in opposing the Apartheid Policy in South Africa. The peace attained in our nation has instigated for the United Nations to bring forth such missions of peace to countries such as Congo (1960-1963), Somalia (1993-1994), Bosnia (1993-1998), Cambodia (1991-1994), Angola (1991) dan Timor Leste (2006). All the achievements of the country were instigated by the leaders and people’s aspirations which were joined together in creating an excellent, glorious and indomitable Malaysia.

Now all the efforts made by every level of society are a very valuable gift in celebrating 52 years of Malaysia’s Independence. Facing a new challenging era, the citizens of Malaysia must be vigilant. When before, the citizens of the country are shaken by the a new colonization ideology through the influence of the mind, economy, social, tradition and culture, now, a new excuse has emerged in trying to colonize weak and underdeveloped nations which have been done in the past and to return in new form.

We are also surrounded by an explosion of communication technology and globalization era that demands the sacrifice and responsibility of the people to continue to defend the independence that we already have. The world without borders was introduced to all citizens that required us to be more aware with the surroundings. Therefore, The Islamic Hadhari concept was introduced as guide to the people to develop the nation with full faith in God, to be learned, to live harmoniously, for a fair distribution of wealth, to be civilized and ethical.
