Malaysia: the National Day
On 31st of August every year, we as Malaysians celebrate the National Day. A lot of people enjoy celebrating the National Day. We enjoy singing the National Songs, decorating our classroom, watching the countdown concert, counting down the time to midnight and watching the parade on National Day. But when we do all those things, do we feel anything or we just celebrate National Day without understanding or feeling anything?? Don’t you at least feel proud being a Malaysian?? At least, we should APPRECIATE living here in Malaysia. There are a lot of reasons why we should.

Based on our topic, the main theme here is APPRECIATING. In general, we as human beings need to learn to appreciate things. We have to remember, the world is not perfect and we cannot get everything like what we wished for. However, we must never say there is nothing good for us in this world. Although the topic here is about appreciating Malaysia, it is important for us to tell ourselves that whoever we are, where ever we are, we must learn how to appreciate things that we have.

We have to remember that everything we have is given to us by God. We should appreciate even the smallest thing that God gave us. Having good health, a happy family, and a peaceful environment. All this things we have to appreciate because God can take it back from us anytime. We should never take for granted of anything that God has given to us. When we learn to appreciate things, we will live happier because we realize that the world is not a bad place after all.

Going back to our topic, “Appreciating Malaysia”, we will realize that how lucky we are to live here in Malaysia. Soon, we will realize that Malaysia is not a bad country after all. We are living with peace and harmony without worrying about any serious problems. We can easily get education, food, water and shelter. And not to forget the technologies that we are using which are the same or even better than other countries around the world. Hand phones,

    The period under Tun Mahathir administration was by far the most stressful in the short history of relations between independent Singapore and Malaysia, with a number of issues reaching confrontational level and thus rendering them more difficult to resolve.

Since then there have been enhanced contacts and cooperation between the two countries and both have been embarking on a series of initiatives in improving the bilateral relationship.

    Changing the World

    I am determined to not only change Malaysia, but to change the world and leave it a better place than when I found it. You must be thinking “That’s impossible. The country is already in bad shape so what makes someone like her think she can change the whole world?” After all, I am only an ordinary student just like most of us here. Do you believe whatever I do would be so insignificant that it would not contribute change to the society or moreover, the world? Let me answer that question for you; No matter who I am or who you are, any one of us has the power to change lives of people anywhere around the world if we take the first step of believing in ourselves. As long as I believe what I start to contribute will bring change, it will matter. Like the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, once said “The people who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, are the…

I am living in a country that is united, advanced and harmonious. Isn't that great? I feel lucky even till today, as I am...…

    How can we apply ‘1 Malaysia’ into our lives? We can start by understanding the cultures that we have in Malaysia. Through understanding, we will learn to respect their actions and know why they do what they do. Then only can we accept them as they are. Next, our family has to support this concept with us too. Our parents need to teach us and our siblings the importance of racial harmony and the values we need to have. Following that, we should all have a good relationship with our neighbours. Our neighbourhood is filled with people of different races and religions, if we can make friends with them, we can accept everybody in this country. Schools are said to be a student’s second home, this is why the education system needs to encourage 1 Malaysia as much as our parents need to. Teachers need to practice this concept and treat all students equally. The government can set up more schools like Wawasan in USJ15, where they have a Kebangsaan school, a…
