Merdeka Musings 1

With a week to go before we celebrate Merdeka, I've been reflecting on occasions, encounters and events that have made a mark in making me proud to be Malaysian.

One such event was when the Malaysian contingent entered the stadium during the opening ceremony of the 1998 Commonwealth Games that Kuala Lumpur hosted. Although only watching on TV, I shared the immense outpouring of pride and emotion with the live audience who were at the stadium.

Here's a look at the event.
