Sharing with us what you know about Melaka is a meaningful conversation for mutual benefit. We alone, we understand Melaka only partly.
Merdeka ! Merdeka ! Merdeka ! … now Malaysians shout three times loudly on August 31 each year. In the first celebration of Merdeka, do you know how many times Malayans shouted ?
I find it worthwhile in contributing some time on writing this blog post for my country as August 31 is 19 days away.
Only an assumption, I have always imagined the sacrifices, the sufferings and the joys for all Malaysians who were born before Merdeka.
They would be very proud of what they have done for their country for Malaysia and if they are still alive, they would be happy when Malaysians could celebrate Merdeka in harmony and peace.
Again, on assumption, I could feel the pride of Malaysian who were born after Merdeka. Their pride would never fade, Never !
However, I couldn’t feel how Malaysians who were born decades apart from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, feel. They might be confused between Merdeka and Malaysia Day if they do not appreciate the sacrifices of the early Merdeka fighters and forget about them though they have read history in school. Some may take Merdeka as another public holiday.
This year, I am attending the Merdeka Parade in Melaka again and for Malaysians who love to catch up about Merdeka, interesting reading materials are appended herein.
