AUGUST 29 — I join all Malaysians in celebrating Hari Merdeka on August 31 as we rejoice on our Independence Day. It is a day for us to remember that despite all the challenges of building a united country, we have proved that we can overcome the difficulties facing us. Malaysians can be proud that they can enjoy their National Day in peace and security.
Our national leaders were pragmatic in formulating the development policies, resulting in all races feeling a sense of belonging to the country. Every economic five-year plan put the priority of government spending on developing the education and health of the rakyat, and raising living standards in the rural areas. We made good progress in reducing the inequalities to avoid the kind of internal instability such as the May 1969 racial riots from happening again.
