Happy 50th Birthday MALAYSIA

It was 50 years ago when history was made. The late Tunku Abdul Rahman shouted "MERDEKA, MERDEKA, MERDEKA" (Indepandence!) as the Union Jack was lowered and the Malaysian flag hoisted. With that declaration, Malaya became independent on 31 August 1957.

Back then life was different. The economy was pretty much dependent on rubber and tin mining.

Now 50 years later, WE are a proud nation which has accomplised so much. A lot has changed. e now have sky scrapers, modern buildings, highways and airports, to name a few. We as a nation have excelled in many aspects and have managed to put ourselves in the eyes of the world.

This verse from a famous patriotic song sums it all in a very apt way.

KERANAMU MALAYSIA

Keranamu kami bebas merdeka

Keranamu nyawa dipertaruhkan

Keranamu rela kami berjuang

Demi bangsa kedaulatan negara

Keranamu Negara Malaysia

Malaysia...Terima kasih Malaysia !

So HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!!!
