Living in Malaysia means enjoying a peaceful and harmonious environment, enriched by a blend of cultures and traditions. Our country’s unique charm extends far beyond our borders.
A touching example of this global appreciation was captured in a recent viral video. The video highlights the Malaysian flag, the Jalur Gemilang, being proudly displayed in Chicago, USA, in honour of our National Day.
In the footage, a local shared their experience at the Chicago Cultural Center, where they observed the Jalur Gemilang being raised while the national anthem, "Negaraku," played in the background.
This display of respect was part of a tradition at the centre, where they celebrate the National Days of various countries, showcasing a heartfelt tribute to Malaysia.
This international recognition not only reflects the pride Malaysians have in their heritage but also illustrates the global respect and admiration for our vibrant culture. It’s a beautiful reminder of how our national celebrations touch hearts around the world.
