Happy 5oth, Malaysia!

Malaysia's already 50 years old.   
Wow *pats it fondly on its back*
I saw the pretty fireworks at my parent's balcony and saw the morning parade on TV the next day.
It was pretty ne~
I also saw the huuuge picture of Tunku Abdul Rahman. 
And I wonder.
I wonder what he felt like when he laungkan the words 'Merdeka' not once, but 7 times.
I wonder what he felt when he saw an enourmous crowd gathering and chering as he said that.
I wonder what he'll feel if he saw Malaysia today. 
I wonder what he'll feel if he saw the Menara KL and the Twin Towers.
I wonder what he'll feel like if he knew that we still live in peace (well, sort of, we  can forget about the crimes part for now) despite our growing, multi-racial community.
I wonder what he'll feel if he knew thousands of Malaysian students are given scholarship to study abroad.
I wonder what he'll feel if he was told about the rising numbers of theft, rape,  bullies and corruption.
I wonder what he'll feel like if he played the song 'Negaraku' in public and everybody just blinked.

I wonder what he'll say if he found out that we managed to preserve our  independence yet the morality of our generation is questionable.
I wonder.

Just my personal thoughts. No offense to anyone.
