Bamboo Gift

The bamboo gift is for hari raya. The gift I made is a flute. The material is just a thin bamboo. I cut several holes on it and use marker wrote "Selamat hari raya" on it. Someone asked me is the flute work? Of course no, I can't make a real flute.
The gift I got is a container made of thick bamboo, this container is for save money, especially for coin. Many children have this when they are little children, it can help them to build saving habit.

Merdeka, Malaysian National Day

The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.

This is our first time to participate Malaysian National Day, as international students(all of our group members are international students), we learned a lot of things.

As foreigners, all of us experience a different culture atmosphere—Malaysian culture, and these make us feel fresh and excited.
Team work, we help each other and encourage mutually, we get the importance of group. (Union is strength)
When we see hundreds of balloons have been released, we also feel the importance of union and emotion of Malaysian for their motherland. (That moved us, best wishes for Malaysia)
