This year is the important year for our country.We all know that this year is our 50th Merdeka Celebration.Dataran Pahlawan was once again chosen as the site for the launching Merdeka celebration and the campaign to fly the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with the country’s 50th independence anniversary.The launching will be by our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.Significantly,we are live in harmony and peace country for almost 50 years.Have we ever think until when are we going to live in this independent country?Now we are in comfortable zone and we never think if foreign powers establish themselves again in our country like they did before.Are we still have that spirit?The spirit to preserve our independence forever.
Let we recall the historical event on Feb 20, 1956, when Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj declared the independence of Malaya at the Bandar Hilir field, now known as Dataran Pahlawan.Tunku Abdul Rahman had announced the country's independence on Aug 31, 1957, at a gathering of about 100,000 people.How noble he is.He did everything and sacrificed a lot for the sake of nation and to get back our rights.How hard he worked to get our country’s independence when our country was established by foreign powers and spreading their influence throughout the country.It is not an easy job and in addition he had to unite all three races after we were independent.That was not happened in a blink and he had to faced a lot of obstacles and challenges.However the pain got stronger and stronger until he managed to do it.What we have today is because of him.He made our days just like today.But are we appreciate it?Are we appreciate that priceless heart?The heart that make us breath calmly and the heart that make us live in harmony and peacefully.
Somehow that is make me think that are we really understand the truly meaning of independence.Like people keep on saying ‘I’m proud to be Malaysian’ or ‘I’m willingly to sacrifice anything for my beloved country’.Don’t just say but prove it.In this modern country it is really hard to find the one that really appreciate our country and willingly to do anything.That is the reality nowdays especially among our new generation and no one can argue it anymore because there is no doubt.I can prove it by myself.
I had an experience while 48th Merdeka celebration.That time I was is Form 4 and I was really excited to celebrate our independence day.I was watching the fireworks and performances happily and several interesting events were lined up.I can feel that spirit and burning desire in my heart.But something made me so disappointed which is our new generation of our country nowdays including myself.But on that time,some of them did not respect to the celebration.The Merdeka Celebration that is full of significants is just like meaningless and useless for them.They made some noises with their motocycles and it was disturbing us during the celebration.For me it should not be happened.What was disappointed me more is when I saw people or couple hanging around,hugging,kissing and did something that out of my box and it never cross in my mind.They were so shameless.How it can be happened?Who should we blame?Our leaders,parents or themselves?Just ask ourselves are we deserve to get any benefit from our independence country?
For me,we don’t have to be so hypocrite.Even we are living in the independent country for almost 50 years,live in harmony and peacefully but either we relieze or not we are still not independent.Actually we are not unite.Everyone just do their own business.We always hope that our leaders can do the best for us and make sure our country is more develop,so that we be proud standing among the developing countries.But what do we do for our country?Nothing because most of us just depend on the others.Besides we always say that our country is prosperous,harmony and unite.But is it true?Don’t be so hypocrite.So many people out there have committed with serious sins by killing and stealing,our youths involve in drugs.Unity is the most important in order to preserve our independence.But how about fighting between races out there?Fighting between parties of politic?If our nation’s leader are fighting with each other what would happen to our country?The most important,what the meaning of 50th Independence of Malaysia?It is meaningless and useless.So what for their sacrifices?Tunku Abul Rahman,our late combatants and those who are struggled with their own life just to make sure their next generation can live in peace and independent
In conclusion,we should playing our role as a Malaysian.Don’t just say it but prove it.We have to give the full cooperation to our leaders and support them.They can not lead our country successfly without our commitment.Help them to develop our country and succeed until the international level.In commemoration of 50th Independence of Malaysia,think back what we have done for our beloved country and wake up from your comfortable zone!So many powers out there are trying to colonize our country again.Stop being the follower and just hope to our leaders to do everything.We should unite and from now on all races,all religions and everyone have to holding hands and move forward.We can face all the obstacles and challenges together.Don’t ever look back again but just go for it.Don’t and never wait for the ship to sail in because what you should do is to swim out to it…
