Independence
of a country generally means freedom from colonial rule. Countries have
sovereign rule, territory and security for the welfare, survival, progress,
prosperity, well-being, development and growth will be enjoyed by the masses at
large. An independent state led by the leader with fairness, or without
going persecution and betrayal of trust backed by the masses.
Real
and genuine independence, is not only beautiful in terms of words and rhetoric,
but also a sense of the soul entering the leaders and the people. The
harmonious relationship between leaders and the people expressed through
feelings of calm and serene, the distribution of values and resources to uphold the principles of justice. The spirit of love and identity always
enthusiasm for the nation's glory, as well as prepared for any possibility of
trying to scratch favors independence gained through the process of a long
struggle.
After
more than 400 years colonized by foreign powers interchangeably, our country
began to achieve independence with the down of Union Jack flag,
and the national flag flew majestically which is now known as Jalur Gemilang. Sacred shouts of independence
on August 31, 1957, at 55 years ago, is the culmination of that victory has
long pioneered by tenacious fighters such as Dato’ Sagor in Pasir Salak, Dol
Said in Negeri Sembilan, Pahang Mat Kilau, Tok Kenali in Kelantan, Abdul Rahman
Limbong in Terengganu and many more. Starting with the Federation of Malaya,
the formation of Malaysia has strengthened through inclusion of Sabah and
Sarawak on 16 September 1963, although the country has lost Singapore two years
later.
Generations
in the era of historic event of independence 55 years ago had moved the golden
ages, the 60's and 70's, as well as a lot of people have no longer with the
post-independence generation. Young people and adolescents are just
searching for the story and history of independence through classroom learning,
reading and viewing other media. However, patriotism or love of country
must always be grasped as if negligent, careless and negligent, it is possible
that the physical occupation of the same bitter history will repeat
unexpectedly, hopefully kept away by God.
Although
the colonists had long gone, the fact there were the new form of colonialism
which is worse, that the conquest of the mind, psychology, culture, tastes and
way of thinking. Western colonial mentality was maintained through
excessive admiration for anything that comes from the former colonial nations,
including the attitudes, language, fashion, food and brands. Instead,
there is a sense of inferiority which comes from local sources, including the
consumption of goods and services.
The
younger generation should not only bigoted against entertainment and sports
imagery by former colonial powers, but trying to keep up with their best youth
group in terms of knowledge, skills, leadership, innovation, creativity and
design and advanced technology. Although in terms of the technology, our
country may miss 50 years behind, we should be making their way quickly and
regularly in order to catch up. In other words, the level of competitiveness of
our young generation must be harnessed to the optimum level so that one day our
country will be respected, stand tall to the entity's political, economic and
social ambitions that have long maturities.
The
spirit of independence flare should be equipped with appropriate filling of the
meaning of independence. The contribution of the younger generation among
others that determination in improving accessibility of knowledge, skills and
attitudes that lead to the generation of first class human capital at our own
mould. Young people should always be prepared to face challenges and
painstaking in an environment of constant change so rapidly.
The
most ideal favors independence is the liberation from the bondage of mankind,
but only a devotion to the One God, mean 'IB a dati'i-'IB a d,
il a 'IB a dati'-ll a h . Let
us pray that the blessings of independence that we enjoy all this will
continue. Happy Independence anniversary to-55 times.
Merdeka,
merdeka, merdeka!
