8月31日的国庆日刚过，纪念的是1957年脱离英国统治的时代。那么9月16日的马来西亚日又是什么呢？

原来是独立日后的1963年9月16日，马来亚和新加坡、砂拉越与沙巴组成了新的联邦国家——马来西亚联邦 (Malaysian Federation) 但新加坡2年后便离开了此联邦。无论如何，我们的国家来得不易，此时此刻的和平生活归功于那些年创国领袖们的奋斗！

Merdeka Day was celebrate on August 31, commemorating our liberty from British colonisation since 1957.

So what is Malaysia Day on September 16?

On September 16, 1963, Malaya and Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah formed a new federation - the Malaysian Federation. Singapore left the Federation two years later. Our land of peace was built on the struggles of our founding father and leaders of the nation. Let's remember this day! Happy holiday!~
