To celebrate our 46th Merdeka Day, malaysiakini is running a series of special reports on patriotism. Also social activist cum film-maker Hishamuddin Rais returns today with his 'Dotmai Kembali' column after a two-year hiatus as a result of his detention without trial under the Internal Security Act. Malaysiakini is taking a short break on this Merdeka weekend, and will be back on Tuesday, Sept 2 with more news and views that matter.
