I'm happy. It's not that easy for everyone to reach this age.
Everyone prays for a long life but we don't know at what age we will exit this life.
It's something to be proud of. Age is just a number and I'm glad to have lived to see the changes in my country.
My daughters will always tease me come Merdeka (Independence Day) as I would be as old as the country has been independent.
I'm very proud to turn 50 together with the nation.
