What does it mean to be a good citizen?

I was surprised that Clarissa (4 yrs) could sing the late Sudirman's Merdeka hit and already knew how to correctly name the PM of Malaysia. She was taught in the Montessori that we need to be a good citizen and love our country. She now has 2 national flags of her own. Christa (2 yrs) just follows everything that Clarissa does. I believe if Sudirman was still alive, they would be his number 1 fan.

As we sing the national anthem and wave the "Jalur Gemilang", I thank God that we have a peaceful and prosperous country. (The onlookers think we are 'nuts' as they probably had forgotten how to enjoy themselves in the spirit of celeration) I just wish that they would in turn turn out to be responsible citizens of this country so that they could pass on the tradition of doing things the way it should be done.

Congratulations Malaysia on your 50th birthday!
