The first was when Upko leaders threatened that Sabah would leave Malaysia in the late 1960s. The second was when Tun Datu Mustapha, the then Chief Minister threatened to leave in 1976. The third was when there was an alleged conspiracy by Dr Jeffrey Kitingan to get Sabah out of Malaysia in the early 1990s. Anyway I thank Najib for declaring Malaysia Day a national holiday.

What "inclusion"? Four independent territories, four independent regional blocks, were signatories to the "Malaysia Agreement" to form a NEW country called Malaysia. “Malaysia Day is celebrated on 16 Sept to commemorate the formation of the federation of Malaysia following the inclusion of Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak in 1963.”

I wonder what would happen if Sarawak left too. And Malaysia Day should have been a public holiday since 46 years ago. “Singapore eventually left the federation two years later.”

Perhaps these noisy people will make much noise again, perhaps to ask for May 13 to be declared a public holiday too.
