I love you. Merdeka

Celebrating National Day 2023

For a long while, Merdeka Day didn’t mean much, because our leaders then didn’t amount to much.

But this Merdeka it feels as different as events & news, weeks and days running up to the day, hold much hope & promise of impending change on the horizon.

There seem to be a new hope as the new leadership takes back the wheel nudging the trajectory of our nation’s course back to the founding fathers aim set 66 years ago today.

Admittedly hopelessness and fatigue have long set in since we lost count of the number of pretenders for the top job in as many years.

With this new fresh breath, it is apt for me to give light to a quote I will always remember tattooed long ago on the arm of a loved one that read; “ when you feel like giving up remember why you started in the first place.”

So just when many of us may feel like giving up, we can now draw upon and channel the purpose and energy of the Man and his team who steered this great nation to independence.

Happy Merdeka everyone.

Keep the faith.
