Well, I know everybody’s telling everybody that Malaysia turns 50 years old today, so I thought I’d just get by with only ONE sentence: 50 is just another number. It doesn’t represent how much we’ve advanced and progressed, and neither does it represent how much we’ve all matured.

Some people may agree that we have come a longgg way since 1957, but some people think that we’re still behaving like a spoilt child. Somebody said that we look all nice and dandy on the outside but are actually rotten on the inside. But regardless of whether our country is perfect or otherwise, one thing is for sure. That we’re all Malaysians, and right now, this, is where we call home.

:heart: Happy 50th Birthday, Malaysia! :heart:

The flag above was created in an attempt to break the record of the longest hand-printed Jalur Gemilang. The end product measured 240m by 3.13m and is Unversiti Malaysia Terengganu’s second entry into the Malaysia Book of Records. More pictures here. The story appeared in The Star, Metro South and East, 1st Sept 2007.
