Merdeka: Where is Malaysia at 62?


ON National Day 2019, my mother sang Negaraku twice. The first time was at the Abdullah Hukum LRT station at the stroke of noon and the second was before a concert in KLPAC in Sentul, both in Kuala Lumpur.

She’s just one year older than Malaysia and has played her part in Malaysia’s nation-building by serving 40 years as a rank-and-file civil servant.
