Malaysia,a country which is made up of three kinds of race include Malays,Chinese and Indians whom they are come from different culture and background can be described as a bowl of rice.Here is a poem that i want to share with all of you:
"Oh rice,tell us how do you get on so well with everyone?
One moment you're mingling with a fiery mutton varuval.The next,you're with slices of succulent Ipoh chicken.
And every morning,you never miss meeting up with ikan bilis,sambal and egg for breakfast.
Even at our big celebrations,you are always there celebrating right along with us.
For Raya, you join your friends to bring us ketupat and lemang.
Deepavali wouldn't be the same if you didn't put on your brightest colours to make the kolam.
And every chinese new year's eve,you help to bring home family from far and wide.
As for Gawai and Kaamatan,you're the reason everyone is celebrating!
Perhaps your secret is that you don't choose - it doesn't matter if we use chopsticks,fork and spoons,or hands.You're just happy to share a meal with us.
Today,as we sit down to share a meal with our families,we'll be thinking of just how blessed the last 53 years have been.
And you'll be right there reminding us,once again,about the true secret of our country.
That we all share 1 rice bowl - the one filled,grain by grain,by the sacrifice,hard work and unity of those who came before us.
And we all share 1 responsibility - to continue filling it,together,for those who will come after."

In conjunction with the 53rd anniversary of National Day celebration,i would like to hope that all Malaysians embrace 1 Malaysia concept and alleviate any racial and religious prejudice and also to work together to create the better of Malaysia.
Last but not least,let me wish all malaysians
