When we talked about Independence Day, how much does the meaning reach to your heart?

For me, it is remembering how our freedom was hard fought and won. Some may say, it is the day where everything from celebrating our freedom to enjoying the evening with fireworks can be felt. Being with family and friends is literally a blast on this day!

We enjoy singing the National Songs, decorating our classroom, watching the countdown concert, counting down the time to midnight and watching the parade on National Day.

What I think about the sense of patriotism in youth nowadays?

Personally, I don't think Malaysian Youth these days seems to have a strong sense of patriotism within themselves. It is because the value of freedom and independence are lack in their soul. They tend to ignore the hardships that our ancestors fought to bring peace to this country. The comfort of living in such a harmonious and balance country has making them forget to be grateful for the pleasure that they had. More and more efforts has to be put to raise the spirit of patriotism in youth nowadays so that they will how much know the value of independence is important in each one of us :)
