KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will be celebrating its 66th National Day on Aug 31, marking more than six decades of freedom and peace since the declaration of independence was marked by the raising of the Malaysian flag at the Selangor Club field here.

A survey of six states found that government buildings and private offices, public parks, schools, business premises and main roads were decorated with Jalur Gemilang of various sizes.
