KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Day which is celebrated on Sept 16 each year is also welcomed as a day of national unification, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak. He said this was because on that date, all the racial and ethnic groups in the country united to celebrate the establishment of Malaysia. This is the date Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore came together with Malaya to form the Federation of Malaysia. In this regard, Salleh called on all the people to close ranks so that Malaysia could become an even better country in the future. Congratulations Malaysia," said Salleh.
