Yodeele MERDEKA

It's September already? Anyone notice our national day celebration? I am quite sure everyone treats the important historical day just like me, another holiday. Is it me or there is almost zero ads on Merdeka day? What happened to all the companies that are supposedly supporting and building the identity for social cause? Bankrupt ka? Or the new Selangor government banned all patriotic ads? or Media Prima decide to boycott national ads? Come to think of it ... I do like to see the adverts and campaign during our national day. Whether it is a waste or not, I still anticipate thos during the month of August every time I turn on the TV.

With the government pushing patriotism every year with fantastic advertisement, people-driven slogan, raising flags campaign and so forth, I am awed at the government's rate of success trying to infuse such spirit in Malaysian. After so many years of trying, don't they even notice that people only cared as much as an amoeba. That's a microscopic level of success. Almost ignorant level of attention. Gosh, have Yasmin brought that sense of pride down to the grave with her? Or did Malaysian turned cold turkey?

Come on man ... It's the country's day ... I think the country deserve a celebration ... from the government to the people! Or at least some sort of broadcast or promotion on events. You know, have some open house party, carnival or so? Something huge? Something to commemorate the day we became independent.

Kudos to GreenPacket PI for organizing the meaningful 15Malaysia ... To view the works of these wonderful stories, kindly click on this link : http://15malaysia.com/
