Melaka Governor’s Birthday
Melaka Governor’s Birthday is celebrated in the Malaysian Province of Melaka on August 24 every year. The Sultanate of Melaka was overthrown after the Portuguese conquest of Malaysia and today, the position is filled by a regional governor, rather than a sultan. Nonetheless, the governorship still holds a powerful position for the people of Melaka and as such, his birthday is viewed in a special light. The governor’s birthday is a public holiday in the province, and the celebration of that birthday is celebrated by all in the province, marked by celebrations and festivities as the entire province takes part in the party.
Navy Day Chile
Navy Day, or ‘Día de las Glorias Navales’ in Spanish, occurs every May 21 and honors the day Chile fought a strategic battle against Peru. The Battle of Iquique, fought during the 19th century War of the Pacific, inspired countless young Chileans to fight for their country and eventually win the war against Bolivia and Peru. The national holiday is a day off for most people and a special celebration for the Chilean Navy, who honor their alums, Captain Arturo Prat and the crew of the Esmeralda, whose bravery and sacrifice sparked the flames of the Chilean revolution.
