Negaraku (My Country) is what we have been taught to memorize from our first day in school and that’s the title of my work. This is the one song that every Malaysian has sung at some point and the words remain with us throughout our lives.
Malaysians are unique in language and personality. Yet we share a multi-cultural society. We are part of the whole called Negaraku. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, we each have a role to play in making Malaysia what it is.
We are 52 today. We’ve had glorious years of growth. As we age, we are challenged by new thoughts and ideals that echo in our conscience.
Who exactly are we? Are we moving in the right direction? Are we taking the right steps to get there? Do shouts of Malaysia Boleh (Malaysia Can!) mean anything? Are we a more harmonious society than we were half a century ago? And in 50 years time, will we still be asking these same questions?
