After the golden jubilee celebration last year, we had in hand abundance of playful issues regarding the nation. The 50 years do worth a slot, if not for arbitrary gossips, for the group to have some manoeuvres in art. It came an exigency, the jubilee became an impetus, a stimulus for national assertion. Efforts done to elevate the image of modern Malaysia; a sensation? That, we need to rectify by questioning the integrity of politics. In common parlance, it is worthwhile for reputation and patriotism; but does it hold any effects on our inner mentality?

Years after years for 50 years, Malaysia has been celebrating it on 31st of August, repeatingly, congruously - high hung be the Jalur Gemilang, events and celebration with patriotism aloud, opportunists use methods making mutual ways, all these in conjunction with the Merdeka - all these flamboyancy - are in such sort that obviating the aim of the true meaning of Merdeka.

Is Merdeka celebrations merely fashionable resurfaces, or 'tis more a hope? or an opportunity to change? Undoubted that Malaysia has developed well, though we are not to rebuke any, but to question the who, what, why, and how...for after 50 years, where is our awareness on this very land?
