For this columnist, the nation’s independence is our own personal and individual independence and independent responsibility. Independence Day, Malaya’s day of independence... the expression seems hollow after what seems like an eternity of a literally empty Parliament, that symbol of independence for the people of this country. That hollow feeling caused me to reflect on what the independence of this nation might mean for my children and their children henceforth. Independence means things are our own responsibility, not other people’s. The nation’s independence is your own personal and individual independence and independent responsibility.
