I'm still a young man who thinks Merdeka should be pronounced with a trilled 'R', and not the poyo Americanised 'R'.
MeRdeka. Not, Meurdeka, because you are not James Dean or Michael Phelps.
Let's not stop learning. After 55 years of Independence, How do you pronounce 'Malaysia'?
Me-lay-shee-ah, Me-lay-see-yah, Me-lay-see-uh, Me-lay-sheer?
Why bother raising the flag if you can't even pronounce the name of your country properly?
Thanks for everything, Tunku.
#55Merdeka, whatever it means to you. Eh, #Merdeka55.
P.S. New semester starts in less than two weeks. Merdeka!
