The Malaysian Insight

IT was like flipping the pages of a history book, beginning with the country’s independence on August 31, 1957.

Malaysia’s 60-year history was presented in a special and nostalgic manner at this year’s National Day celebrations at Dataran Merdeka today.

Witnessed by tens of thousands of people who had gathered at the square, as well as the millions who watched the live broadcast of the event on television, this year’s celebrations featured moments that showed how the country was built by overcoming challenges together and with the sharing of power among its children. 

Malaysia’s journey under six prime ministers was re-enacted chapter by chapter, from a newly independent country to a developed nation. – August 31, 2017.
