Happy 53rd Independence Day

Tomorrow marks our 53rd Merdeka (Independent Day). How MERDEKA we are depends on us, so lets not dwell too much on the past but lets look how far we have marched!! The journey we had endured and many more paths to take, hence that is MERDEKA!! 

No matter what some F*&^ed up racist headmistress uttered recently, I am a MALAYSIAN and am PROUD to be one.

This is one song that every Malaysian would never want to miss and of course the singer himself is remembered fondly for!! 

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Merdeka, Merdeka, Tetaplah Merdeka
Ia pasti menjadi sejarah

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia, Hari bahagia
Sambut dengan jiwa yang Merdeka

Mari kita seluruh warganegara
Ramai-ramai menyambut hari Merdeka, MERDEKA!!
Tiga satu bulan lapan, Lima puluh tujuh
Hari mulia negaraku Merdeka


(2x)

Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka....!
MERDEKA!!
