A Happy 63rd Birthday To Indonesia

The Republic of Indonesia turned 63 yesterday.

As a Malaysian, I wish all Indonesians a happy 63rd birthday.

All Indonesians, Singaporeans and Malaysians are siblings. Born of the same mother - Johor.

I pray that Indonesia will recover from its recession and find a stable democracy along the lines of the United States’ (and Malaysia’s) two-party system.

And that all countries that evolved from Native Malaysian polities (especially Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada!) will help rebuild Indonesia.
