NATIONAL Day is coming soon. It is a day that should be celebrated with pride and joy as this is the day Malaya gained independence from the British colonisers.
I remember my schooldays back in the 1960s when we assembled in the town padang under the sun, waiting for the VIP guests to arrive. A few YBs would give their speeches and the ceremony always ended with shouts of “Merdeka” and everyone pumping their fists in the air enthusiastically.
