8TV Live Merdeka Special Embarrassingly Switched Sabah & Sarawak On the Map
It is best for us to have our work checked by multiple people as sometimes, even the keenest eyes cannot spot a glaring mistake. It’s even worse when you are publishing your work to be seen by the public. One simple mistake can offend a lot of people if you are not careful enough.
As we celebrated the 62nd National Day of our beloved country yesterday, most television networks in Malaysia had a special slot in their morning talk shows to discuss the celebration, the history and other topics related to the country.

In the midst of all the excitement, one TV station did a boo-boo by labelling Sabah and Sarawak on the Malaysian map wrongly. They have mistakenly switched the places of the two states. We’re unsure whether it was caused by their own carelessness or they were ignorant on the topic. Or maybe, just maybe, we should take our geography lessons in school more seriously.

To some, this might be a small error but let’s think of the people from the states that we mislabelled. Surely they are angered and saddened by this error made by their Semenanjung counterpart. Mistakes do happen in life, but hopefully, we can be more careful in the future so that we can prevent something like this to ever happen again.
To all our East Malaysian readers, we will never mix up where state is located at! ❤
