Hari merdeka also known as hari kebangsaan (National day), refers to the day when theFederation of Malaya's independence from the British Empire was officially declared. At exactly 09:30 on 31 August 1957, the declaration was read by the first Chief Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman at the Merdeka Stadium in the presence of thousands of people including Malay Rulers, members of the federal government, and foreign dignitaries.
What is the meaning of merdeka to you? To me, it as an appreciation for the sacrifices made by our ancestors.The blood that had been spilled, innocent life wasted, the tears that had been shed, their hard work, money, the time they spent to get us where we are now. We shouldn't let that go to waste.
When independence day comes, I will go out with friends to visit historical places in Malaysia. in this way, I can feel the true meaning of freedom. we will take our time to recall the struggle which had been sacrificed by our forefathers in liberating the country from invaders.
Everyone has their own way to appreciate the independence. As Malaysians, no matter how old we are. We are encouraged to appreciate the freedom that we have to make us are always grateful and thankful . We also have to maintain the prosperity of our country for the next generation.
thank you.
