Happy 53rd Birthday, Malaysia.
Every year at this time we celebrate the land of our birth with gratitude and appreciation for the shelter, provision and life that this land has provided.
2010 saw us the teachers and children alike coming together to commemorate our Merdeka Day... once again on a lovely breezy morning.
The school has the National flags flying high as a mark of respect for the nation.
The theme of the year is a constant reminder of a transformation for a good change... in attitude, resources and togetherness.
All these children in cosmo composition recited the 'pantun' in different voices but with one theme... Satu Malaysia.
Soo Yin, Esther Chow and Aaron ...
A message to both me and you
We're in this thing together
We're part of 1 Malaysia
We're part of 1 Malaysia
At ordinary times, they looked quiet but they blurted out the Satu Malaysia song in great volume...
The choral speakers went ....
You pause, you stop, you stare,
At the rubbish over there,
To pick or not to pick?
Hei , just pick it up la !
The students were in for a pleasant surprise... rendering the popular Merdeka lyrics !
Tanggal 31 Bulan lapan Lima puluh tujuh
Merdeka ! Merdeka ! Tetaplah merdeka ... Surdiman Arshad popularised it.
Teachers too enjoyed moments of songs which brought back good memories
...Terima Kasih Malaysia !...
Doing the right thing... singing their hearts out... well done !
Avinash, the ring leader led the team well...
And we went 7 times ... Merdeka, Merdeka...
The final countdown with a bang !
Merdeka !
In a country so lovely as Malaysia let us practise love, patience and consideration and be the envy of many around us. The harmonious populace is the secret to all success in this land... the land that gave my father a chance to earn a living, set up a home, raise his children and to give him and his later generations peace, belonging and stay.
Thank you Malaysia.
Happy Merdeka.
