I'm from Sabah,
we here celebrate Independence Day on 31st August for Malaysia & 16th September for our state. So 31st August should be the right date.

31-8 is the right date for Malaya and Sabah independent, but definitely not for MALAYSIA

Well, 31 Aug is a sensible compromise for the purpose of a celebration.

Take the USA as an example. Do you see Americans bickering over whether July 4th should be independence day, since many states gained independence and joined the federation later?

The states were either conquered, annexed, created, expansion. Joined? wrong term. Since July 4, 1776, there is USA untill today.
Does Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak has the same fate as them?
What is the path of Persekutuan Melayu (Federation of Malaya) , then Malaysia?
Is our nationality Persekutuan Melayu? or Malaysia?
