As Malaysia's 66th Independence Day celebrations draw near, 12 Malaysians have come together to sing a musical tribute that resonates with the spirit of unity and patriotism.

Last Sunday (Aug 13), homegrown music director/musical performer Vale V. Wong, 40, and his friends recorded a music composition of Tanggal 31 Ogos, popularised by the late Sudirman and often sung during Merdeka celebrations throughout the nation.
