If only we’d let our children grow up with the words of our proclamation of independence:
…shall be for ever a sovereign democratic and independent State founded upon the principle of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of its people and the maintenance of a just peace among all nations.
Happy 54th Independence Day to the Federation of Malaya.
Fortunately the High Court of Australia has overturned the govt’s decision to send asylum-seekers to Malaysia, thereby saving refugees from the experience of liberty & justice, welfare & happiness, at the hands of rabid, perverted dogs. (Not suggesting that Oz concentration camps are good, but Malaysia? No way!)

New Mandala has either forgotten or perhaps considers it of no consequence but September the 2nd is Vietnam’s Independence Day when the Viert Minh told the French to take a running leap. It took Dien Bien Phu to convince the French their time was up and of course the Vietnamese had to wait until 1975 to deliver the US a lesson that it appears to have forgotten aka Iraq and Afghanistan but it would be great if New Mandala focused some of its attention on a country like Vietnam, which in the annals of history is at least as important as Thailand and probably more so than a country such as Malaysia despite the latter’s economic although not necessarily political successes!
