PATRIOT takes this opportunity on this 67th anniversary of our National Independence Day, Merdeka, to share with every nation building citizen a meaningful celebration.
Indeed 31 August also marks our countdown to Malaysia Day that falls on 16 September.
As citizens we all have a stake in determining our nation’s future.
That future has been in motion for 67 years, a period of pains, fears, joys and hopes.
Reality dictates that nation building is never devoid of pains and fears.
But our history continues to inspire us that the joys and hopes we Malaysians share is what keeps our flag high.
PATRIOT will continue its mission to champion those hopes that will keep our democratic and constitutional monarchy as sturdy pillars of progress and development.
PATRIOT will walk with every true Malaysian in ensuring that the next generation will have many reasons to be joyful.
Naysayers, the corrupt and divisive agents will not escape the eyes of every patriot.
Our multi racial, multi religious, multicultural and rich traditions will be our bricks of the future nationhood – the undefeatable strengths of “Malaysia for Malaysians”.
We thank every media that has played its part towards this end.
We will demand from every politician to respect that this nation is on loan to them to return to every citizen, further enriched.
We will walk with every right minded citizen, marshalling our collective strengths to catheterise corruption – in any form or manner, as corrupt Malaysians are our nation’s worst enemy.
Viva Malaysia. Selamat menyambut Hari Merdeka dan Hari Malaysia 2024. – August 31, 2024
Lt. Col. Datuk Zarazilah Mohd Ali (Rtd) is the president of National Patriot Association Malaysia
