Festival: Happy 52nd Merdeka Day Malaysia


Happy Birthday!

Today marks the 52nd birthday for Malaysia and alexleow-kimmy.com would like to take this golden oppotunity to say Happy Birthday Malaysia. After 52 years of independance, we could see the changes that had been brought from the government and we hope that this year would be the same as we keep changing from good to best and towards excellent. This year's theme, 1 Malaysia, Rakyat Diutamakan, Pencapaian Didahulukan shows that the government efforts to raise the standards of the people and the performance is also as much important as the people.


This year Merdeka celebrations would be kept minimal because due to the H1N1 flu that spreads widely in the country and it's not advisable to go in large groups and crowds. Besides it's the Ramadan month as well. There will be no celebrations in the city for countdown as all the premises such as Bukit Bintang & KLCC had cancelled their plans to hold any concerts that can draw large crowds due to the diseases that are spreading widely. There will be no fireworks display as well on the Merdeka Celebrations. Today National Day parade will also be held at a restricted place and with a limited time also. This year celebrations scheduled to be held at Bukit Jalil Stadium had been moved to the Parliament House and limited to some 8,600 people who are allowed to participate in this year's National Day parade. It will be lasted about 40 minutes of parade. FYI, there will be no road closure for today's parade in the city and city dwellers can drive in the city freely without any obstacles.

With all the barrier above, it will not dampens Malaysian spirit to celebrate our 52nd Independance Day and we hope that more changes can be done to make Malaysia in the eyes of the world yet again. SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA Malaysia!
