Merdeka was the achievement of independence.  Presented below was an
eyewitness account of the event:


		NO SENSATIONAL EVENT HAS OCCURRED TODAY

  Most people had regarded Merdeka as a kind of sword of of Damocles
  over their heads.  The pessimists had expected the celebrations to
  turn into race-roits and bloodshed; but even the optimists had
  anticipated demonstations and increased tension.  No one spoke of
  this in public, no suggestion ot it went into print but fear was
  general and Merdeka was, for many, a dreaded day.  And then came
  came the colossal sensation: nothing happened.  The celebrations
  were inspiring and dignified.  There were no demonstrations, no
  clashes: there was general rejoicing:  NO SENSATIONAL EVENT HAS
  OCCURRED TODAY.

  Why not?  It all went too smoothly, too rapidly - and this was the
  fault of the British.  Malaya did not become independent on August
  31, 1957: to all intents and purposes it had been independent for
  the two or three preceding years.  Merdeka was the formal celebration
  of Malaya's becoming something it did not really become; and also
  for becoming something it had already been.


Now, that's Merdeka - Malayan style.

there is no reason why it cannot be integrated into the Mig29.  What is

Upon hearing the lock-on sound, the pilot simply push the button and
the missile will do the rest of the job.

Dear Malaysians,

	I'm just wondering of what happened to Samyvellu regarding the
Telecoms share that he sold to his family members and to his very close
parties(MIC leaders). Last time I heard, ACA(Anti Corruption Agency) was
investigating this scandal and also requested Samy and his "friends" to
declare their assests. I believe if Samy get convicted for this, they can
put him behind the bars for a while. 
	I hope somebody out there can update me on this matter. Thanks you.

Dear soc.culture.readers,

   This is FYI (for your information) only:  Elyas just received a
honorary doctorate from Universiti Sains Malaysia in the latter's
21st convocation.  He received his honorary doctorate in laws.  I
just happened to be a guest of a graduating family member in the
session when Elyas was conferred the honorary doctorate.

   What a contradiction?  No cover-up for Elyas and give him the
honorary doctorate almost in the same month!!!  Is this another
of our Malaysian style again??????

   By the way, shouldn't it be 23 Volvos, instead of 27 as in the
original posting, or Mercedes-Benz in some subsequent response?

   God bless Malaysia and her Vision/Wawasan 2020.

I don't think it will ever be shown in Malaysia.  In Singapore it is

Having some form of early warning has always been part of Singapore defence
strategy.  If you follow Singapore's news closely you would know our defence
outline.  We are quite capable to provide surveillance within a 500 km radius.
Mine sweeping and ASW capability has been added recently.  Speaking of
surprise attack, the citizen has been participating in the civil defence
training in which they know how to react during emergency.  How do you
stage a surprise attack?  By air?  I can name you two airfields which are
within their combat radius from Singapore.  One is located in Kuantan and
the other is somewhere in Sumatra.  With these 2 air-fields covered, the
probability becomes very small.  Everyone is worry about chemical attack.
And it is perfectly possible that iraqi is the supplier of some of these.
If Israel can provide every citizen with a gas mask do you think we cannot
do so when the situation arises?  At any one time, there are 300k to half a 
million foreign workers in Singapore.  What do you think will the reaction be
from their home country of such an surprise attack?  Anyway, I frankly think
that you're new to military operations.  You stage an surprise attack to
neutralise the enemy's military power not to use that for man-slaugther.
To sum it all, military defence is just one arm of our Total Defence strategy.
Whatever you think of now is nothing new to our defence strategists.

Instead of the discount, could we get one of those American made nuclear power
submarine that carries two dozens multiple war heads sea-launched nuclear
