MERDEKA

      Hari Merdeka refers to the day when the federation of Malaysia's independence from the British empire was officially declared on 31 August 1957. The declaration was read by the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman at the Merdeka Stadium in the presence of thousands of people.

                In 1956, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj led a delegation to London to hold talks with the British Government concerning independence for Malaysia.

             On 31st of August every year we as malaysians celebrate the National Day. A lot of people enjoy celebrating the National Day.We enjoy singing the National Songs, watching the countdown concert, counting down the time to midnight and watching the parade on National Day. But when we do all those things, do we feel anything or we just celebrate National Day without understanding or feel anything?? Don't you at least feel proud being a Malaysian? We should appreciate living here in Malaysia.
