2012 and this marks the 55th anniversary for Malaysia celebrating it’s independence. The build up to Merdeka has been a whirlwind, especially after the London Olympics. Watching our athletes do us proud over stirred something in me and made me even prouder to be a Malaysian. As i sit down to write this, it really came to my there are number of things to be proud of as a Malaysian. Let me try to list a few and maybe you can tell me your reason.
1) Malaysia is the one place where we have multiple public holidays!
2) We have the world’s number 1 squash player Nicole David
3) We are the home to beautiful rain forests that is more than 100 million years old. In Taman Negara we
