Maybe it's the way the national flag flies so high Despite the country's imperfections Maybe it's the way we're united Not separated, despite the difference in cultures, Believes, traditions, languages Maybe it's the way you see an Indian eating with chopsticks, The way you see a Malay in a saree, The way you see a Chinese making ketupat's for Hari Raya. Maybe it's the unity you see, Maybe it's the goosebumps you feel when you say Merdeka, Maybe despite the hate you have towards history, Deep down, you know how grateful you are to be Malaysian. Maybe it's the way you walk into a mamak, And say " tauke tapau roti canai 1 milo ais 99 " And maybe, It lies in diversity, Beyond everything else. Malaysia, tanah tumpahnya darahku.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia.
Maybe it's the way the national flag flies so high Despite the country's imperfections Maybe it's the way we're united Not separated, despite the difference in cultures, Believes, traditions, languages Maybe it's the way you see an Indian eating with chopsticks, The way you see a Malay in a saree, The way you see a Chinese making ketupat's for Hari Raya. Maybe it's the unity you see, Maybe it's the goosebumps you feel when you say Merdeka, Maybe despite the hate you have towards history, Deep down, you know how grateful you are to be Malaysian. Maybe it's the way you walk into a mamak, And say " tauke tapau roti canai 1 milo ais 99 " And maybe, It lies in diversity, Beyond everything else. Malaysia, tanah tumpahnya darahku.
