Putrajaya

The Prime Minister's office
at Perdana Putra

Today, i would like to post about our federal administrative centre of Malaysia, Putrajaya. I am very sure that many of us has visited this place. If i'm telling you this place is beautiful and unique, i'm very sure all of you agree with it. Putrajaya was the brainchild of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad. The reason why Putrajaya was built because the seat of government in Kuala Lumpur was not strategic anymore. It was due to the overcrowding and congestion there. So, the government need to find another place to build federal administrative centre.  In 2001, Putrajaya was made a Federal Territory, increasing the number of federal territories to three. Kuala Lumpur and Labuan are the other two. Named after the first Malaysian Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra the city is situated within the Multimedia Super Corridor, beside the also newly developed Cyberjaya. The development started in 1995 and today major landmarks are completed and the population is expected to grow in the relatively new city.

Do we need to learn Ethnic subject?

Is it important this subject to us?It's just a minor subject in our courses and we have many other critical and 'killing' subject to focus at rather than this. Well, if this sentences keep playing in your mind, you're absolutely and totally wrong. It is right that this subject just a minor for us, but it will give us a big impact in our daily life. Why I said this, it's because we are living in a real world and not a fantasy world. Everyday we are dealing with many people with different races, religions, cultures and colors. So, we need to avoid historical milestone events such as the racial riots of May 13th, 1969 and the Kampung Medan "incident" of 2001. That incident gave us a valuable lesson so that it will never happen again. That's why we need to learn this subject to get a knowledge so that we know how to deal, live and unite with various of ethnic in Malaysia as a family so that we can live together in peace and harmony.  

Bunga Raya

This time, we would like to discuss about our national flower, Bunga Raya. Many young people today do not know that Bunga Raya is our national flower, and the purpose of choosing Bunga Raya as a national flower. For your information, after independence, the Ministry of Agriculture has been order to propose appropriate flower to choose as a national flower. Ministry of Agriculture has proposed seven types of flowers to be chosen as the national flower. After going through a tight selection, on 28 Julai 1960, Bunga Raya officially announced as national flower.

The purposed of choosing Bunga Raya as national flower because symbolically, Bunga Raya red color represents courage, and the each of the five petals of the Bunga Raya represents the Five Principles of Nationhood of Malaysia. The five principles of Nationhood represents an attempt to base national unity on certain concepts which are universal and acceptable to all citizens, regardless of ethnic origin or religious affiliation. Since early times, Bunga Raya has been known for its medical usages. Till today, people still use the roots of the Bunga Raya as a cure for fever while a poultice prepared from the leaves can be applied to cure headache.
