Selamat Hari Merdeka 2011

Its that time of the year again that we celebrate our Merdeka celebration but this year, Our National Merdeka Celebration will be postponed due to Hari Raya Celebration that fall on the same day as Merdeka. The 54 years Merdeka Celebration will be held on 16 September 2011 at Dataran Merdeka Kuala Lumpur. Once again, I want to wish "Selamat Hari Merdeka 2011" to all my Malaysian readers and friends. You can read about Malaysia Merdeka coins at my old post: Selamat Hari Merdeka Coins. If you're looking for Malaysia Merdeka logo and Malaysia flag, you can go to my post Malaysia Merdeka 2011. This year Merdeka Theme is "1 Malaysia, Transformation Success, People Peace".

If any of you remember our country history lesson, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. On 31 August 1957, history of this country began, Malaysia gain independence at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur with Tunku Abdul Rahman Shouting "Merdeka!" and everyone share the same joy of independence.


This year Merdeka will be a little bit difference. We can read many news and story how Malaysia unity has changed. Hopefully it will not be any worst in the near future. Nowadays we maybe shouting the same word "Merdeka!" but at the same time deep in some of our hearts, they're dissatisfaction. It hurt when some Malaysian start to praise communist as Malaysia Independence heroes. Malaysian do stupid stuff in the name of politic.

"Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia!"

Wish this country unity will keep on stronger every seconds and we can keep living in harmony on the coming years.
