Ever listened to this song before? The part "Merdeka!" actually make me fall into tears everytime when i listen to this song. Thinking how Babah and his fellow friends used to sacrifice their life for our country. People can say that I am just being ... whatever that word is but the truth is, I am proud of my dad.. proud of those people who were there when the Union Jack was pulled down. Does it ever cross your mind what will happen if those heroes did not have the courage to pull the flag down on that day? We might not be an independent country yet I guess.

Babah used to tell me, when Tunku Abdul Rahman wanted him to pull down the Union Jack, there were hundreds of British Armies around them ; armed, waiting for the right moment to shoot down whoever who have the guts to bring down their flag but Babah said, he did it for his country ..it was worth doing and Alhamdulillah..52 Years of Merdeka .. thanks to the Heroes!~ I heard there were 5 of them on that memorable day, Arwah Babah was the one who pulled down the flag when the clock striked 12am on 31st of Aug 1957. I'm proud to be his daugther!!~ :) They all have passed away years ago including my most beloved dad, leaving one behind. I forgot his name but he's almost 109 years old today :)

But as the Malays used to say, "Harimau Mati meninggalkan Belang, Manusia Mati meninggalkan Nama". People nowadays celebrate Merdeka inappropriately. No offense, but that's not the way we Malaysian should be acting. It is all about carrying the pride of our country and us as the people of Malaysia. Happy 52nd Merdeka Day to all dearest Malaysians ♥

I googled this few pictures of Babah online :)
