Happy Independence Day, Malaysia.. Merdeka!!!

Happy 51st Merdeka day to all Malaysians.. This year has been a very unique year for Malaysia as we as a nation are maturing and starting to free our mind from the authoritarian control and brainwash from the Malaysian government as previously before. Below are some unique quotes from bright minds that best describe our merdeka day this year:-

"The great civilisaton of the past do not have democracy and yet they became great.It's not necessary that the system will work for everybody. But if you have a bad leader , even the democracy system would fail. You must remember that in this democracy country which dropped atom bomb.. killing two hundred thousand people." - Tun Dr Mahathir

"Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them - and then, the opportunity to choose." - C. Wright Mills

"Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason". - Erich Fromm

Petronas Ad on Merdeka Celebration. Very touching :)
