merdeka


salam merdeka!

winning words from tunku during his speech delivered the night before. (as reported in the straits times at the time)

" this is the greatest moment in the life of the malayan people, for at the stroke of midnight a new nation is born - a nation that will stand forthwith free and independent."

" it is freedom for the malayan people. and once this torch of freedom is lit us hold it up high so that all around us will glow with radiant happiness."

" let freedom be secured for all the law-abiding people. there shall be freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom from want, freedom of association, freedom of assembly and freedom of movement."
