In a nation it is the duty of every citizen to assimilate and appreciate the historical and cultural back ground of his nation.
Malaysia is a sacred and glorious country, it is our good fortune to be born in this land. You should realize the truth of the saying:
"As you sow, so shall you reap."
Hence all actions should be pure and noble and such as would promote the well-being of the nation and give you joy.
The nation belongs to all. This truth should not forgotten. People must stand up for truth. There is nothing greater than truth. All must protect the honour of the nation. They should be united. "Let us all live and strive together in harmony." If only this spirit prevails the nation will shine in all its glory.
There must be, however, a transformation in the minds of the people. There is no use in changes in external forms. Qualities must changes. There must be a change in the way of thinking.
Only then the change will be to the lasting good of the country. Envy and egoism are animal qualities. The qualities which every human being should have are peace, compassion, forbearance, love and sacrifice. These are the qualities that should be developed in all people, not vices like hatred, greed, envy, pride and others. Cultivate the feeling of love. Get rid of old prejudices and differences. Only then the nation can make all-round progress.
Before I conclude I call upon all Malaysian, forget all your differences and come together, develop genuine fraternal feelings and eschew separatist tendencies. Uphold the reputation of the nation.
Every effort should be made to raise the reputation of the country. Consider this year Merdeka function as auspicious beginning for transformation of the nation.
I bless you all Malaysian - "MERDEKA."
