PETALING JAYA: Even with National Day being over two weeks away, residents of Sri Melaka flats in Cheras are already embracing the Merdeka spirit.

The iconic red, blue, white and yellow of the Jalur Gemilang could be seen lining the flat’s Block 14 as residents, led by 62-year-old retiree Habib Taha, set up National Day decorations around their entire block.
