This year the Merdeka anniversary was celebrated with great pomp and pomp throughout Malaysia. In my home town, Government offices, school buildings, as well as private shops and houses were decorated with flags and buntings to honor the Merdeka day. Electric posts in some of the main streets were 'dressed' with multi colored cloths and hung with National and State flags. Large buildings were illuminated with 'streamers' of colored electric bulbs.
