Colors of Malaysia


On the 31st of August, our turn to celebrate the independence day, with much fanfare from people in yellow. Lots of noisy vuvuzela that drown the faint cry of clean....what? Unfortunately, Malaysia Book of Records' officials were not present to record the decibel of noise generated, they must be somewhere measuring the longest....whatever... We even saw aunties and uncles coming out in droves to have their selfies taken amid a sea of yellow, will the Simpsons be proud of this yellow craze?


Not to be left out, on the 16th of September, another mass celebration for inclusion of our brethren from Sabah and Sarawak into Malaysia was held. This time, yet another group of patriots, all dressed in red though most do not celebrate Chinese New Year occupied the empty streets of Kuala Lumpur. Most came with their vision of a better Malaysia, let's ask if Elmo would approve this red tide.


2 more colors from the Jalur Gemilang, Blue and White are still plotting for the perfect time to strike. 

Some who stayed at home are probably more concerned with the color purple. Get well soon, Mr Ringgit, we will pray for your recovery so that we can continue our globe trotting activity.


As for the rest, they only see haze in grey. Cough...cough...we need to have a blue and white demonstration urgently to bring back the clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds. "Hidup hidup, hidup blue skies with no haze!"


TMIKLites, what color do you see with your eyes and feel with your heart? Most importantly, what color is your blood? Tell us all about your vision for a better Malaysia too or you just want to live without worries? Tell us tonight, at our #768 meeting, theme is "Living without Worry".
