Happy Independence day, M'sia!

Today's M'sia's 51st national day. This is where our 1st prime minister & Father of Independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman who officially announced that our country was finally free & shouted Merdeka 51 years ago in the Stadium Merdeka. The Malaysian flag was also hoisted for the very 1st time in there.

Merdeka symbolises freedom & it's the ability for me to express my thoughts without restrictions, while independence is having the liberty to exercise my own rights without ppl telling me so. We are able to live in peace & harmony despite of being a multi-racial nation. The fact that different cultures, beliefs & races can stand as 1 nation throughout the years is simply amazing. That makes me proud to be a Malaysian although I'm a mix of Eurasian & Chinese. It's liberating that people accept me for who I am.

I'd lyk to wish all the M'sians a happy 51st Independence Day & SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA!!!
