Independence Day taught us to be grateful with what we have and how far has our country developed. From being a country colonized by the British, to become one of the most developed country in this region. Now, we have our own car brand like Proton. We also now have our own astronaut, a pride of our country. Our country also have many athlete who make surprise in Olympic Rio by winning the Olympic medals. The gold medal is still elusive, but I am confident that we will get it soon.
In a nutshell, we should appreciate the freedom that we have now, as it didn't come to us easily. Malaysia is the collective work of our brave soldiers and national heroes to free our country, and many more after that to develop it to where we are now. It is important for us to always stay "sehati, sejiwa", support and respect each other. I am PROUD TO BE A MALAYSIAN.
