HAYATI DETIK-DETIK BERSEJARAH NEGARA...

AKU BANGGA MENJADI RAKYAT MALAYSIA

SELAMAT HARI KEMERDEKAAN YANG KE-50

Malaya Independence

The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.

How the independence date was derived

Even before the delegation left for London, the date for independence was already set. It was decided during a discussion in 1956 involving UMNO Youth chief Tun Sardon Jubir and his deputy Haji Ahmad Badawi in Kepala Batas, Penang. Haji Ahmad Badawi is the late father of the current Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Also present at the discussion was Haji Ahmad Badawi's father, Haji Abdullah Fahim, who was also the Penang Mufti and a renowned Muslim scholar. Analysing the independence dates of countries like Indonesia and India, all falling on odd dates in August, Haji Abdullah Fahim after conducting his own calculations decided August 31 as the most appropriate date ^[1].

The formation of Malaysia

Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj announced the independence of Malaya from the British on August 31 1957 at Stadium Merdeka.

The Federation of Malaysia, comprising states of Malaya, North Borneo (later renamed Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore was to be officially declared on the date August 31, 1963, on the 6th anniversary of Malayan independence. However, it was postponed to September 16, 1963, mainly due to Indonesian and the Philippines' opposition to the formation of Malaysia. Nevertheless, North Borneo and Singapore declared sovereignty on August 31 1963. Indonesian opposition later escalated to a military conflict.

Indonesia considered Malaysia as a new form of colonization on the provinces of Sarawak and Sabah in the island of Borneo (bordering Kalimantan, Indonesia), which they laid claim on. ^{[citation needed]} To assure Indonesia that Malaysia was not a form of neo-colonialism, a referendum, organized by the United Nations, and the Cobbold Commission, led by Lord Cobbold, were formed to determine whether the people of Sabah and Sarawak wished to join Malaysia. Their eventual findings which indicated substantial support for Malaysia among the peoples of Sabah and Sarawak, cleared the way for the final proclamation of Malaysia.

The formation of the Federation of Malaysia was then announced on September 16, 1963. However, the Independence Day celebration is still held on August 31, the original independence date of Malaya. This has caused some minor discontent among East Malaysians in particular since it has been argued that celebrating the national day on August 31 is too Malaya-centric. ^{[citation needed]}

Guests of Honour

When Malaya celebrated its first Independence Day, new hotels were built everywhere in Kuala Lumpur to accommodate the huge foreign delegation invited by the Government of the Federation of Malaya to witness the historical day.

The first batch of foreign representatives to Malaya were:

• Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (represent Queen Elizabeth II), Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester and Prince William of Gloucester



• Sir Gerald Templer (former British High Commissioner in Malaya)


• Lady Gurney and Lady Gent (wives of former British High Commissioners in Malaya).

Upon arriving at the Sungei Besi Airport, the guests of honour were welcomed by the British High Commissioner in Malaya, Sir Donald Charles MacGillivray and Lady MacGillivray, the First Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaya, Tuanku Abdul Rahman accompanied by the Raja Pemaisuri Agong and the first Prime Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Malaysia BOLEHHH!!!!!!!

PERFECT GIFT!
29th August 2007 – The Malaysia Under-23 team scored a perfect gift for the country’s 50th anniversary of Merdeka this year when they beat Myanmar 3-1 in the final of the 39th Merdeka Tournament tonight at the Stadium Shah Alam.

In front of more than 40,000 fans, the national Under-23 side under head coach B. Sathianathan grabbed the title with goals from Mohd Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak in the 12th minute, an own goal from Aung Myo Thant in the 56th minute and then from Mohd Safee Sali in the 60th minute for the well-deserved victory.

Myanmar’s only goal of the evening came off Tun Tun Win in the 73rd minute.

“I am very pleased with the players,”said Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, the president of the FA of Malaysia (FAM) who was present at the match (pic) to present the USD 10,000 prize money to the winning team.

“Sathia will remain as the coach because the boys seem to like him where today, they went all out in the game and they truly deserved to win.

“For the upcoming FAM Congress, I hope that they will make sure that the right people will be put at the right place.”

With Malaysia’s last win of the Merdeka Tournament back in 1993, the Malaysian lads were full of vigour in the opening quarter as they pressed Myanmar into their own half.

In the 12th minute off a pass from Safee, strike mate Zaquan had only Myanmar keeper to beat before slotting home to give Malaysia the lead to rapturous delight.

The score at the break was 1-0 to Malaysia.

Myanmar did not have the best of start in the second half when in an attempt to make a clearance from an effort off Safee, they conceded an own goal in the 56th minute defender Aung Myo Thant turned the ball into his own net.

Malaysia then completed their win on the night four minutes later when off a pass from Amirulhadi Zainal, Safee blasted the ball home to put Malaysia in a comfortable position.

Tun Tun Win gave Myanmar a glimmer of hope when he scored in the 73rd minute from inside Malaysia’s penalty box but by then the game was already beyond contention.

As if to add insult to injury, Kyaw Khing Win was red carded two minutes to the end in a game which saw six yellow cards being flashed.

Despite the defeat tonight, Myanmar still walked away with the USD 5,000 prize money.

Just For My Big Girl Ladybird

"Big Girls Don't Cry"

Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

La Da Da Da Da Da

Sedey Aku Bila Dengar Lagu Nih..



VERTICAL HORIZON LYRICS

"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)"

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted

[Chorus]
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever

Malaysia Against???

MALAYSIA IN FINAL
27th August 2007 – Malaysia exacted just revenge when they beat Singapore 3-1 in the semi-finals of the Merdeka Tournament tonight at the Stadium Shah Alam.

Striker Mohd Safee Sali, who was suspended in the team’s last match against Lesotho two days earlier, was in commanding form with two goals in the 17th and 76th minute with Mohd Khyril Muhymeen scoring the other goal in the 12th minute.

“It was a very tough game," said Malaysian head coach B. Sathianathan.

“They played using the flanks where the rain made the pitch very slippery. They were very dangerous in the set-pieces. But the two goals made the boys go for more.”

Khyril, who missed the penalty at the last Asean Football Championship semi-finals, gave Malaysia a dream start a well-taken free kick which took a wicked curve before swerving into the left of the Singapore goal.

Safee then gave Malaysia a 2-0 lead at the break when he took advantage of an out of position Singapore keeper Hassan Abdullah Sunny to slot Malaysia’s second goal before Agu Casmir gave Singapore a fighting change with a goal two minutes after the restart.

However, there was no denying Malaysia the win on the night when Safee beat Hassan in a one to one situation to put the game beyond contention.

ÏN THE MEANTIME in an earlier semi-final match, defending champion Myanmar beat Zimbabwe 3-1 to confirm their place in the final of the championship for the second time in two years.

Myanmar scorers were Yan Paing (32th and 58th minute) and Yazar Win Thein (88th minute) while the only goal from Zimbabwe came off Mutshumaveli Moyo in the 51st minute.

“The boys are mentally strong against very tough opponents,” added Myanmar head coach Marcos Falopa.

“It is not easy to play against African teams but they managed to play their normal game and control the match well.”
