Guong
I didn't actually went there but I watched it live on RTM 1. My first impression? It was boring , misleading and I somehow felt sad with it. Ok, they celebrated Malaysia Day and I'm supposed to be fill with joy but I just can't. What was the purpose of the celebration? Was it merely to buy the heart of Sabahan and Sarawakian?
Why was there no segment that really tells the true story of how Malaysia was formed? Shouldn't they made the segment since this was the first Malaysia Day celebration? Instead they show dances, singers and others that just doesn't relevant with the Malaysia Day. Even the three narrator of this live broadcast were very misleading. Especially the Datuk (I forgot his name) where he seems like uttering nonsence and so out of the topic. They didn't touch anything on the significant of Sabah and Sarawak forming Malaysia, let alone Singapore.
And what disappoint me most were the speech by Datuk Shafie Apdal, Datuk Musa Aman and Pak Lah himself. They didn't touch anything significant about the forming of Malaysia but instead they were just propagating UMNO-BN. It really sounded like a political campaign. And they didn't even mention Tun Fuad Stephen. All of them!! Instead they mention only Tun Mustapha.
Datuk Shafie even dare to say that the poverty between ethnics were reduced under the current government administration. What?? When?? Datuk Musa Aman on the other hand only emphasize on the SDC which is yet to see any 'dust' moved until now. And Pak Lah? He was just repeating the same thing. He even admitted that this celebration was celebrated due to Sabah and Sarawak 'plea'.
To sum up this first celebration, It was boring, ad hoc, misleading and nothing but another attempt by UMNO-BN to gain Sabahan and Sarawakian support.

"Kerajaan persekutuan, setelah mengambil kira hasrat daripada rakyat Malaysia di Negeri Sabah dan Sarawak, bahwasanya, tarikh 16 September itu bukanlah sepatutnya menjadi tarikh penutup Hari Kemerdekaan, tetapi ad juga sangat penting jika sekiranya, tarikh 16 September itu juga diperingati sebagai tarikh Malaysia ditubuhkan."- Pak Lah speech on Malaysia Day celebration.So if the Sabahan didn't voice our 'plea' would the federal government made 16 September as a celebration?
To sum up this first celebration, It was boring, ad hoc, misleading and nothing but another attempt by UMNO-BN to gain Sabahan and Sarawakian support.
