United Kingdom used to rule almost quarter (24%) of Earth's total land area, including Malaysia (British Malaya).. And today it is very small and still shrinking day by day. Brexit vote on 24 June 2016 have shocked the whole Europe. Britons voted to leave EU, but Scottish in majority voted to stay.
Scottish has held it first independence referendum in 2014.
55.3% voted 'No' for independence. while remaining 44.7% voted yes.
Now, after three years, Scottish are up for independent referendum again.

As a citizen from the former UK protectorate, I am wishing the UK good luck in handling these independence referendum. I do believe, after Scotland, Northern Ireland will join the party.
So what is the lesson learnt as a Malaysian?
1. To stay in an Union is better than to be alone and the union should be strengthen for the member's benefit. (ASEAN, OIC)
2. Any attempt or idea to separate any state from Malaysia should be nullified and avoided. We have lost Singapore in 1965. Never repeat the same mistake.
3. Disparity in Economic activity between West Malaysia and East Malaysia should be solve effectively. (Same with West Coast and East Coast of Malaysia Peninsular..
