I come from Bangladeshi parents and am a Bangladeshi national through parental inheritance but Malaysia is my birth country, I am proud to be born into a country like Malaysia where everybody lives together in a harmonious coexistence depicting the spirit of 1Malaysia. It gives me immense joy that today is my birth country, Malaysia’s own birthday and it is now 57 years old! I wish all the best for Malaysia on this day and may it prosper more in the upcoming future. Although, I now live outside Malaysia but I surely hope of returning to Malaysia one day to pass the rest of my life. It is Malaysia where my life’s journey started and Malaysia is always in my heart. I love Malaysia very much and pray that the spirit of unity through Merdeka always persists that will make Malaysia grow stronger in the days to come. Once again, Selamat Hari Merdeka!
