Merdeka..is it true

Merdeka, what does this really mean to all of us? Do we really feel that we are free, some how I don't feel so when I read in the local newspapers how the people of the nation are divided under the racial and religious barrier which is an integral part of our society and every inch of sensitivity has been unearthed. Anyway that would be my other article.
Our nation may free from the British but another form colonism has taken over the minds and hearts of the people. Race and religion are the major stumbling block that Malaysia need to overcome as it is our common enemy and more so it is from within!
We are in dire need to be free from the dogmas of race,religion, creed and colour, only than can we truly say that we are Independent!A distant dream may be nevertheless a good dream to have. Wishing all True Malaysians a Happy Merdeka in the future!
