Merdeka Anniversary.. Again!



Its 31st day of August and none of us Malaysian need to be reminded of the significance of this particular day. Some refers 31st August as Hari Merdeka or Independence Day but rightfully, it is our National Day, or Hari Kebangsaan.

Later in my life, I grow accustomed to Merdeka day being the day to remember Tunku Abdul Rahman's historic chant of "Merdeka", seven times.

Well, with the improvement of technology, and with the emergence of YouTube, we now know for a fact, that the 'azan' was recited after the proclaimation of independence was read by Tunku in that fateful 31st August 1957.
