Happy Merdeka Malaysia! (Independence Day) } 31st August '05

MMerdeka in Malay means "Independence" and today Malaysians celebrate 48 years of independence.

These pictures are taken at Tugu Negara (National Monument), which is a tribute for heroes who fought during World War II and the Emergency period (1948-1960).

My gals are wearing the costumes of four ethnicities of Malaysia.

Do take note that these are not representative of the costumes of Malaysia because costumes of the Eurasians (Portuguese Decendents) and the Aborigines are not included yet.... hopefully I will include them in next year's Merdeka edition. :D

Happy Merdeka to all fellow Malaysians!
