May God save Malaysia from corruptions, violation of human rights, violence, and grant every rakyat a peaceful and harmonious country that everyone of us would feel proud for being a Malaysian.The love for my own country, is something far beyond what words can express.
It's not how many Malaysian flags you wave around, its not about how grand and emotional the celebration is;
it is merely a proud feeling for being an anak bangsa Malaysia.
Happy 52nd birthday, Malaysia :)
Below is the poem, Pahlawan Kemerdekaan by Usman Awang.
PAHLAWAN
jika hilangmu tanpa pusara
jika pusaramu tanpa nama
jika namamu tanpa bunga
penjajah mengatakan engkau derhaka
maka engkaulah pahlawan yang sebenarnya
Gema seabad silam
Inggeris datang meredah Pahang
bersama peluru bersama senapang
membunuh menangkap setiap pejuang
Sungai Semantan berubah merah
bukan sarap hilir ke kuala
bukan rakit mudik ke hulu
arus merahnya menjulang mayat
pahlawan bangsa pahlawan rakyat
tujuh liang dadanya tersayat
Pahlawan!
Untukmu derita untukmu penjara
bukan bintang tersemat di dada
semangatmu api negara berdaulat
namamu terukir di jantung rakyat.
~ Usman Awang
(Dalam Puisi-puisi Pilihan, DBP)
