Just watching the 50th Merdeka celebrations on TV and I can't help but notice how top BN politicians are dominating the proceedings.The 8tv talk show hosts are singing the praises of the PM. Samy and Ong Ka Ting are hovering around the PM. So too Hishamuddin Hussein.
Khairy Jamaluddin raising the flag... Khairy leading the Youth of the BN component parties in a marchpast...Najib literally breathing down Abdullah's neck, looking over his shoulders, as the PM delivers a "spirited" speech.
The past came back to "life" tonight
as Malaysians watched "Tunku Abdul Rahman" declaring the nation's
independence at Stadium Merdeka here. Holography, one of the marvels of modern technology which itself demonstrated how far Malaysia has come in 50 years, created images of the scroll bearing the Declaration of Independence being delivered to the country's first prime minister and of the Tunku, after reading it, leading the nation in seven rousing shouts of Merdeka. There was a simultaneous re-enactment, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi playing the lead role.
