Merdeka in Malaysia

Merdeka means Independence in the Malay language. Malaysia gained its Independence from the British on the 31^st of August 1957. This year also marked the 57^th anniversary of our ‘Merdeka’, so the number 57 is very significant to the patriotic Malaysians for this particular year.

Pineapples, pineapples everywhere.

Another invitation from Santai magazine reached my email recently. Titled ‘Program Sahabat Media CC1M ke Johor’, it was hard for me to turn down because this was the first time I officially received a Fam Trip invitation to visit Johor and I wouldn’t want to miss this one. I know this southernmost state of Peninsular Malaysia has a lot to offer.
