Malaysia today celebrates Hari Merdeka, their 50th Independence Day.

Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule. In a wider context, it is to celebrate the formation of Malaysia. [Wikipedia]

Almost every year, they have a new theme for the Independence Day, and this year’s theme is “My Glorious Malaysia”. No offense, but somehow it make me think about “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan“.
