Merdeka Award gives us the heroes we need.
NEW SUNDAY TIMES.
Abstract
MALAYSIANS must surely be proud that when the nation commemorated its 50 years of independence two
years ago, the occasion also marked the establishment of the Merdeka Award to celebrate the true spirit of
independence and the pursuit of excellence.
This is particularly significant because there is now a platform to recognise individuals for their "outstanding
and lasting contributions to the nation and the people of Malaysia".
In other words, Malaysia can add to its list of national heroes, people who have made arduous attempts to
ensure that the nation's independence is more meaningful and robust.
