Happy Birthday Malaysia. Today we celebrate our 50th year of independence – MERDEKA! Regrettably me & family n others who stay abroad will not be able to celebrate this year’s golden anniversary of Merdeka at our homeland. But being Malaysian, the 31st August will always be the memorable day in our life. It was on 31st August 1957 when history was made as the Union Jack was lowered and the Malaysian flag hoisted, with the first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj leading the people in the famous shouts of Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! (Independence!)
Malaysia has come a long way to come to where she is now - a modern nation full of vibrant and colourful culture and people. From a nation that depends so much on agriculture to a developing country full of promise in many areas of the economy, I’m proud of Malaysia’s achievements over the years.
Saya anak Malaysia. I love my country n proud of it. Even though I won’t be able to join the parade, watch the fireworks or free concerts.. I still do have the Merdeka spirits.
MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!
