about his;
sudirman brings us
triumphantly into
another national day
national day
the dead singer still sings
its joy
sudirman brought back the best asian entertainer award
from london in the 80s. he died in the 90s but every national day, his patriotic songs still fill the air.
myriad little flags
the pride
behind the swing
so many flags moving to and fro at dataran merdeka (independence square). the power behind them could move
mountains.
counting
the blessings -
another national day
malaysia has experienced many tribulations but on national day
we prefer to count blessings.
national day
still waiting for the day
when we prefer ourselves malaysian
multi-racial malaysia needs to get citizens to feel
malaysian first...that's what nation building is all about.
every citizen should feel being part of the same entity which fuels that inspiration to work for the best of the country.
national day
a small country tries
to defend the rest
malaysia has been leading the developing world in many world
conferences and very often speaking up for them. the small country does not feel itself small.
malaysia
a small country
that does not feel small
