Malaysia Day, Sept 16, remains real in history that has still not found closure despite over half a century. Having said that, Opinion is not law. Only the court can declare law. There isn’t certainty on the vociferous minority, out of the blue, suddenly celebrating July 22 as Sarawak Day. Sabah has Aug 31 as its own “Day” in history. Parti Bumi Kenyalang (PBK) President Voon Lee Shan said in a statement on Tues 21 July 2021 that his party does not recognise Sarawak Day as there’s no basis in history and law. He implied that it was pure politics building up public perceptions on the issue, for consoling the people, with an eye on the ballot box.
