Merdeka!

Yes! 31st August marks Malaysia's national day where 48 years ago, Tunku Abdul Rahman, stood in padang pahlawan, malacca and shouted to the large crowd, 'Merdeka! Merdeka!' which means 'Freedom! Freedom!' in Malay, freedom from the rule of the British.

Yeah..I actually thought of having a party for some Malaysians in my home... but no time to plan lah.

Oh well, happy national day Malaysia!......'negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku.....rakyat hidup bersatu and maju, rahmat bahgia...Tuhan kurniakan, rajah kita bersama and maju.'

Yeah Tuhan or God is mentioned in M'sia's national anthem, it didn't occur to me until this morning ie 30th August while i spoke about M'sia's national day to my working mates and started singing the national anthem.

Yes...Tuhan kurniakan...means God bless/honor/bestow..... yes God is in the picture in Malaysia's national anthem....he is the one who blesses or gives all the good things .....cool. :)

Selamat malam!
