Happy Independence Day :)

Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule, celebrated on August 31. In a wider context, it is to celebrate the formation of Malaysia.Today, the celebration of our Independence Day is fall in month of Ramadhan, which is on 21st of Ramadhan.

The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.

The Federation of Malaysia, comprising the States of Malaya, North Borneo (later renamed Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore was to be officially declared on the date August 31, 1963, on the 6th anniversary of Malayan independence. However, it was postponed to September 16, 1963, mainly due to Indonesian and the Philippines' opposition to the formation of Malaysia. Nevertheless, North Borneo and Singapore declared sovereignty on August 31, 1963. Indonesian opposition later escalated to a military conflict. Indonesia considered Malaysia as a new form of colonization on the provinces of Sarawak and Sabah in the island of Borneo (bordering Kalimantan, Indonesia), which they laid claim on. To assure Indonesia that Malaysia was not a form of neo-colonialism, a referendum, organized by the United Nations, and the Cobbold Commission, led by Lord Cobbold, were formed to determine whether the people of Sabah and Sarawak wished to join Malaysia. Their eventual findings which indicated substantial support for Malaysia among the peoples of Sabah and Sarawak, cleared the way for the final proclamation of Malaysia.

The formation of the Federation of Malaysia was then announced on September 16, 1963 as Malaysia Day. The nationwide Independence Day celebration is still held on August 31, the original independence date of Malaya, while Malaysia Day is a public holiday only in East Malaysia. However, this has caused some minor discontent among East Malaysians in particular since it has been argued that celebrating the national day on August 31 is too Malaya-centric.[3][4][5] It is decided that starting 2010, Malaysia Day will be a nationwide public holiday in addition to Hari Merdeka on August 31.

Installing Frash the easy way

It is frustrated when i heard iOS4 still do not allow the flash compatibility in the iPhone. Sad. Why do you need Flash on the iPhone? To see banner ads? No, not really.

You need Flash to see the whole Web: the one with icky-Flash intros that block you from accessing the main website, the Flash-based menu for a favorite local restaurant, the Flash videos that haven't yet been re-encoded for your iPhone, and so on. It may not be the Web you want to see, but it's the Web that, for now, you still need to see.

And now there's a way to get this content on your iPhone: Frash. Huhuuhuh.. big thanks to Comex.

To install Frash (aka flash for iphone) properly, you'll need to refer to a how-to guide, like this one hosted on Redmond Pie. But to sum up: You must first jailbreak your phone, download the .deb, upload it to a folder on your iPhone using SSH, restart your phone and... what's that? Did I lose you? Too freaky right?

There is another way, the easy way actually.You can just install Frash from Cydia, the jailbreak app store instead.

In order to accomplish this feat, you'll need to already have a jailbroken phone.

Then the instructions are as follows:

1. Launch Cydia and tap the "Manage" button
2. Tap "Sources"
3. Tap the "Edit" button (top-right)
4. Tap "Add" (top-left)
5. In the pop-up box, type http:///repo.benm.at/
6. Tap "Add Source" to close the box
7. Tap the "Done" button (top-right)
8. Go to the "Search" section in Cydia and search for "Frash"
9. Install the app.

Done!

Now you have Frash on your iPhone. SBSettings users can also add the "Frash Toggle" to easily switch Frash on or off. (You'll want to keep it off for the most part because it can hog the battery).
