Abstract

THE "Ganyang Malaysia" sentiment has boiled over yet again in our neighbouring country. This time, it has a special significance as Malaysians are in the midst of celebrating independence day today, and Malaysia Day on Sept 16. For many, the rub can be easily construed as a challenge to the nation's sovereignty. Why the fuss when the so-called "issues" could have been easily solved within what is often regarded as the jiran serumpun framework? It is not surprising that Malaysians are compelled to stand up and defend the nation and its flag. The irony about this is that before the present incident, some Malaysians had no qualms doing the same and soiling the image of the country.
