Happy Malaysia Day 916

It was 39 years ago, on this very day, Malaysia was bornt. Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya were formed to become Malaysia. More than 30 years later, Singapore which broke away stands a lot higher in stature in terms of economy and development!

How a country that has no natural resources, none whatsoever, become so wealthy and very developed with better standard of living?

In a nutshell, a successful business reflects the leadership and foresightness of the management. I'm not so sure of the current government of my birth country. Frustrating and disappointing, it is after 39 years (or 51 years if 31 Aug 1957 the independence of Malaya)!

Anyway, Happy Malaysia Day!


p/s: There will be more photos coming up in the next few days!
