Announced by our PM today (19 Oct 2009), beginning next year, Malaysia Day has been declared as a public holiday.
Malaysia Day is held on 16 Sept every year since 1963 to celebrate the formation of Malaya, North Borneo (now renamed to Sabah), Sarawak & Singapore to form as Malaysia. It was not that easy.
The new federation was planned to be held on 1st June 1963, but was postponed to 31st Aug 1963 and due to some issues from Philipine and Indonesia, it was again postponed to 16th Sept 1963.
On the 31st Aug 1963, Singapore and North Borneo declared independance from the United Kingdom. I'm not sure what happened next but maybe you can google more about it.
Later on, a team was formed to determine the people from Sabah and Sawarak whether to participate in the formation of Malaysia and the results showed that they wish to. So, the formation of Malaysia is on its way on 16 Sept 1963, which they declared as Malaysia Day.
However, 31st Aug is still considered as the original celebration of Independance Day (Merdeka) of the Malaya. All the while we, Malaysian are celebrating the Merdeka on 31st Aug.
This is a good news where 16th Sept is declared as a public holiday and it should be that way.
People might confusing why have such two different merdeka days, this makes me think about Google has alot of different date of birthday celebration :-)

Where is Wangsa Walk Mall Wangsa Maju
Many people is asking, where is Wangsa Walk Mall?
As you heard mostly is Bintang Walk, so where is Wangsa Walk Mall?
Wangsa Walk Mall is located at Wangsa Maju, a town that already being served by Alpha Angle (Jusco) & Carrefour for many years. Now a RM70 million mall will definitely bomb this town to become a hot destination for all ages of people surrouding the area. At the same time, traffic will be increased. Solving the traffic jam is also a matter but at the moment, its seems not so serious.
The big shop in Wangsa Walk Mall as you can seen now, including:
Secret Recipe
Rotiboy
the famous TGI Friday
Popular Bookshop
a very big F.O.S
SuperStar Karaoke
Celebrity Fitness
TGV cinema
a 32-lane Bowling alley
big tenant Cold Storage
and many others stores ......
From my point of view, this is a potential hotspot as students, family, working men and women, and business centre are surrouding the areas. If Wangsa Walk Mall carefully in selecting their tenants/stores, it would be an attractive place to attract more than 250,000 residents. Entertainment is what i talking about. Like cinema, karaoke, bowling alley, fitness centre is already attracted the family and students. Of course you have good entertainment, you should have good dining shops, add in fast food store should be more attractive, such as McDonald's :p
A cafe such as Starbucks, Coffee bean for some drinks, sitting there whole day of your weekend, or during the night time & chit-chatting with friends, enjoying the beautiful scenary of bukit-bukit surrouding wangsa maju.
Wangsa Walk should be a place for everyone, a place to rest, enjoy, & eat !
