Merdeka Day is around the corner. Wow, I get public holiday again? Anyways, it does not mean that all of us will sleep like a panda because of public holiday. Despite we have holiday but we are still appreciate what we have been staying in our country. Well, what is Merdeka Day? Hari Merdeka is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule in 1957, celebrated on August 31 each year. Merdeka is a Malay word which is called as independence.
As Malaysian, I proud to celebrate Merdeka Day with all Malaysian no matter we are different races and religions and we live happily and peacefully together in my country. My country is known as multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious country. Normally, it is a colouful parade is held at the Merdeka Kuala Lumpur which is alot of people can attend and celebrate it together. Various government agencies and private sectors join together to participate in the parade. They will march in front of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong is called as the King, Ministers and special guests. Most of Malaysian show their patriotism for country such as raising the Malaysia flag at the houses, offices, vehicles and along the streets.
This year is a bit sadness for my country and there is a lesser Malaysia flags have seen in public places and shopping malls this time. As we know, Malaysians are still mourning for the tragedy as what it occurred before. However, it shows that Malaysians are more united and pray for them together despite there is a lot of happened and unfortunate situation in my country.

Despite there is a barrier communication between us however we are still can communicate each with other by using Malay language which is a main language in my country. Other than that, we respect our own culture and can celebrate our different celebration together as well. There are variety of food in Malaysia. For example, Malay's food is famous with Nasi Lemak, Nasi Kandar, Rendang Chicken and many more. Indian's food is popular with Roti Canai, Tandoori Chicken and spicy foods while Chinese food is Kuey Teow, herbal soup, mixed vegetables, steamed fish with extra ginger and soy sauce and many more. Chinese and Indian can eat Malay foods which is make by Malay people. While Malay can eat Indian foods and Chinese foods with Halal symbol. The best example is I have my Malay and Indian friends and I can hang out with them also.
As the result, there is a lot changes and transformation in improving my country with the cooperation among different races and religions and what important is we work together and live peacefully. Anyways, I want to remind you included myself to graceful to God because we are living with peace and harmony and appreciate everything as what we have. We will be happier when we realize how lucky we live here and at the earth. Finally, I am always graceful and thankful to God. I am proud to be Malaysian. Happy Merdeka Day. Hope all of you have a great time and happy everyday.
