What Merdeka Means To Me

I should extract a quote from last year's Merdeka Movie which presented by Interact Club of Sri Cempaka Cheras. An actress said: "Merdeka means....Unity to me....". Well, its very true, as you know, there are three main races in Malaysia, but no matter what, we are still Malaysians. We the "rakyat" lah!


Merdeka means independence. Every year, 30th August, 11:59pm, Malaysians will usually gather in the KL central and countdown until the next day which is the National Day, in Malay language, its called "Hari Merdeka". People will start shouting "MERDEKA!".....non-stop....(until they got tired of it)

Somehow, some chinese dudes actually shout the word "MERDEKA!" for some reason. Firstly, they broke the word merdeka into three parts, Mer-De-Ka, then they pronounce it in cantonese as, Mai-Dit-Ka, if I was to direct translate this word, it means "rice drops price". Which also means that "rakyat" hopes the government will decrease the price of rice. (poor man, poor.....)

So, you see.....Merdeka does not only mean independence, it ends up with so many other meaning which sound so interesting but it is interesting anyway....

Now, 2008, Malaysian artists had made an fantastic song with a music video, the song named "Here In My Home". I actually made an video.......ops...200 words over.

The video is Live! now in Youtube....check it out!
