Come tomorrow, Sarawak celebrates her 53rd independence day from British Colonial rule on 22nd July 1963. And tomorrow's celebration is the first to be held on the momentous day since 1963.
Personally, the celebration has brought a flood of ambivalent feeling to myself.
As a Malaysian, the date has no historical meaning attached to it. The date was never recognised by Sarawak government since formation of Malaysia. And the Education Ministry did not include it in History syllabus.
