Merdeka Public Speaking Competition

Merdeka season.... A time where you see flags are finally being displayed by patriotic commercial and private drivers alike. This is the time when you don't see Tunku Abdul Rahman as a geek. This is the time when you look up to him. Some may even realize that we are actually quite a fortunate country. Do we get hit by tsunami at least once every four years? Do we fortify our houses with nails and wooden boards whenever we hear warnings of strong wind? Do we fear our life would fly out of the window in the next minute? NO, we don't. So, you've got to appreciate it lah.

In collaboration with the Bulan Kemerdekaan, an English Public Speaking Competition will be held. The details are below.

p/s: Yes, I moderate things around here, crimsonteddy. Do you want to subscribe to a daily newspaper filled with foulwords or disturbing pictures and the headline is about your notoriety? I don't think so... Try being in someone else's shoe before you post things up.
