CEBISAN MEMORI
“Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!” Each year the shouts of independence
echo from every nook and corner of the country on August 31 to mark
“Merdeka Day” or Independence Day. “Merdeka” celebration is held
throughout the country of Malaysia on the occasion of Malaysian Inde-
st
pendence Day. The 31 day of August witnesses a myriad of parades, cul-
tural performances and street shows. Merdeka Celebrations have been
held with grandeur for over 50 years, since 1957. Celebrations include
parades involving uniformed personnel, corporate players, school chil-
dren, cultural dancers, athletes and Malaysians from all walks of life.
The 'Merdeka Celebration' was a month long commemorative event
which drew great participation from all students in SMK Sultan Sulaiman.
It was held successfully last weekend. Activities held during the day were
talks, marching band, exhibitions, community works, singing of patriotic
songs and others.
