Yesterday (31st August 2009) was Malaysia's Merdeka (Independence) Day. It was celebrated as the 52nd year of independence counting from 1957 when the Federated States of Malaya achieved independence from the British Colonial rule while Sabah and Sarawak joined Malaysia and achieved independence from the British Colonial rule on 16th September 1963 only.According to the Guiness Book of World Records, Doulus has been recognised as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.
The good ship "Doulus" (the world's largest floating bookstore) was back again after 2 years in Kota Kinabalu Port and opened to the public from 29th August 2009 till 21st September 2009.My family and I never missed visiting the ship every time it calls at Kota Kinabalu to browse through its huge collections of books, magazines and cds.This time I managed to buy a few books on music (guitars and songs.
