Waving Flag

Tweet

When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag...

That is K'naan with his song Waving Flag.

The song is not related what I wrote here, forgive me for carried away with the song. Lol…but hey, try listen to the song. It is very energetic and everytime I listen to it, my spirit soar to the moon. Enough of my ramblings. Here is the main reason for my entry today.

August is the Month of Merdeka (Independence) for Malaysian peoples. This year, Malaysia will celebrate its 53rd Independence Day with a theme 1Malaysia Transforming The Nation. Every 31^st of August, you will see multi-races and multi-cultures together attend the Merdeka Parade. I remember my sister who went to see the parade years ago, she told me how she cried when the soldiers march enthusiastically. I said, why?

She said, “I was thinking about how they sacrifice their own freedom for the peoples. Leaving families and friends behind to protect our country so we can laugh and enjoying our freedom without worry.” Wah, there goes my patriotic sister. 

That’s why we should never take our freedom for granted. Who knows what our brave soldiers have to endure for the sake of our freedom. Love our country not try to destroy it.

Last but not least, this message is for the Malaysian peoples…don’t forget to wave Jalur Gemilang at your home, office and on your car. 

Proud to be Malaysian!  

Stand with pride and glory...

To represent 14 lands...

Peace and harmony under one roof.

Guide and inspired,

To embrace the future,

And standing in the eyes of the world.

Red , white , yellow and blue .

Stand as one...

Wave with pride and glory!
