Perdana menteri hari ini mengumumkan sambutan Hari Malaysia yang diraikan pada 16 September setiap tahun diisytiharkan sebagai cuti awam untuk seluruh negara mulai tahun depan.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang mengumumkan perkara itu pada persidangan Dewan Rakyat berkata pembentukan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang merdeka dan berdaulat merupakan satu titik sejarah yang amat penting.
"Dengan demikian rakyat Malaysia akan merayakan dua hari kebangsaan secara berkembar.
"Hari Merdeka pada 31 Ogos mengingatkan kita akan perjuangan mencapai kemerdekaan dari penjajahan, yang akan dirayakan dengan pelbagai acara rasmi seperti perarakan dan sebagainya untuk mengingati detik sejarah itu.
"Hari Malaysia pula akan dirayakan dengan acara-acara bersifat mengeratkan perpaduan, persefahaman antara kaum, kejayaan dan pencapaian masyarakat menerusi bidang sukan, sosio-budaya, kesenian dan lain-lain yang akan menyemarakkan semangat 1Malaysia," katanya.
Sebahagian petikan dari malaysiakini.Akan tetapi mengapa baru sekarang hendak melaksanakan oleh BN,kerana DSAI telah pun merencanakan 16 sept hari malaysia pada tahun lepas,semasa beliau hendak mengumumkan 30 MP BN hendak melompat,tetapi pelbagai pendapat yang menidakkan rancangan DSAI,yang menidakkan rancangan DSAI adalah orang yang menyokong 16 sept hari cuti umum sekarang.Apakah ini politik malaysia,apabila pembangkang mencadang tidak mahu mengikut padahal sesuatu yang baik,tetapi ditiru pula oleh BN kemudian disokong pula.mengapa telalu banyak PAK ANGGUK didalam pentadbiran sekarang,adakah kita ini berTUHANKan manusia sehingga tidak berani mempertikaikan yang HAQ&BATIL?
jadi renung-renungkanlah sebelum menyokong....!!!!

"Vijayaratnam passed away this morning due to a heart attack. This is sad news to Gerakan, the Barisan Nasional and the country," read the statement.
"He was a leader of principle respected by many and a role model for the young people inside and outside of Gerakan. May God bless his family and give them strength."

Vijayaratnam was appointed senator in 2002 and served for two years, from 2006 to 2008, as parliament secretary of the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry.

In the party polls last month, he retained his vice-president's post by coming in second. The highest vote-getter was former Youth chief Mah Siew Keong (1,153 votes), followed by Vijayaratnam (678) and former Penang Youth chief Huan Cheng Guan (568).Highly-fancied Malay candidate Dr Asharuddin Ahmad (537) failed to make the cut.Party observers said that Vijayaratnam was able to win the post twice because he was known as the president's manVijayaratnam was chairperson of the party's International Affairs & Ethnic Relations Bureau and head of Gerakan branch in Sungai Ujong, Negri Sembilan.
He was also a member of the National Economic Consultative Council, a fellow of the Royal Society of Health in London, and an honorary fellow of the Indian College of General Practitioners in New Delhi, India.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Vijayaratnam from 2005, when he was a member of the Malaysian Parliamentary Caucus for Democracy in Myanmar, and later in the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Caucus for Democracy in Myanmar (AIPMC)."Dr Vijayaratnam's and his party's steadfast support to see democracy restored in Myanmar was instrumental in propelling the Malaysian government's position to be more vocal on this issue," she said.
