After 52 years in the federation, TELUPID central township, shows very little interest in welcoming the celebration, almost nil in flags display, on local vehicles or on top of shophouses, except for the government agency. No commemorating activities at all, is it because of the fasting month?
Oh! What a boring Malaysia day, where is our state and federal representatives, can you give a little incentive?

Nine years of darkness
In the year 2001, about 50 small shop proprietors in the sub district of TELUPID, small town, had their shops demolished by the local authority in order to make way for the development of 57 lots of commercial shophouse owned by LPPB. And in the process of the demolition, water and power supply was cut off despite of their appeal for leniency, from those who have nowhere to go or to turn to. This tragedy still lingers in the mind of this inexperienced Author. Though evidently noted and updated to this day by the the Author, yet nothing had changed the fate of these small business proprietors in their quest for justice.
Today, these small business proprietors in their bid to earn a decent livelihood, are deprived of their right to a adequate standard of living, while relocated at the vicinity of the TELUPID airport alongside the east west highway, living a life to this day, nine years of darkness, treated in a degrading way, by the BN Government.
