Celebrating Malaysia Day: Unity in Diversity
60 Years of Malaysia
As the Jalur Gemilang waves proudly across the nation, Malaysians come together on September 16 to celebrate Malaysia Day, marking 60 years since the formation of Malaysia. This year's theme, "Malaysia Madani: Jiwa Merdeka," embodies the spirit of unity, harmony, and shared progress, reflecting the nation's commitment to a bright and inclusive future.
The Meaning of Malaysia Day
Malaysia Day commemorates the historic event of September 16, 1963, when the Federation of Malaya, North Borneo (now Sabah), Sarawak, and Singapore came together to form Malaysia. This day holds deep significance as a celebration of unity, diversity, and the collective journey of building a modern, progressive nation.
Malaysia MADANI: Jiwa Merdeka
The 2024 Merdeka slogan, "Malaysia MADANI: Jiwa Merdeka," resonates deeply with the nation's aspirations. "MADANI" represents a civil, ethical, and progressive society, while "Jiwa Merdeka" translates to "Independent Spirit." Together, they symbolize a vision for a modern Malaysia that is rooted in its cultural heritage and values, striving for excellence and inclusivity.
