Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

On the 31st August 1957, Malaysia or accurately the Malay Peninsular at that time was established as an independent land from the British Government. Thus, 2014 is the 57th year of Malaysia independence. Malaysia is a land to be proud of and to be served regardless of your religion, colour and culture. Malaysia will continue to develop and prosperous.

"Malaysia, di sini lahirnya sebuah cinta"

In Greek: patris = 'fatherland', patriota = "countryman", Thus, patriotism means devotion to one's country.
Selamat Hari Merdeka ke-57 for Malaysia



Citation from wikipedia on Federation of Malaya Independence:

The Federation of Malaya Independence Act 1957 (1957 c. 60 5 and 6 Eliz 2) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom. It came into operation on 31 July 1957. The Act made provisions for the nation of Malaya (formerly the Protected States of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor, and Terengganu) and the Settlements of Penang and Malacca to gain an independent sovereign country within and become a member of the Commonwealth of Nations on 31 August 1957; prior to this, Federation of Malaya (formerly Malay States) had been a fully self-governing British colony.

What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA cab
