My country. Independant. It functions and runs without the assistance of a more developed country. It's not colonized by anybody. We're moving forward and advancing by our own capabilities, building together a wonderful nation.
If i lived in such a country, i would be celebrating its Independance day.
Independance day, i think, has lost its purpose. It holds no meaning to the new generations. We don't know what its' all about, we don't seem to care, makes no difference. It has become another holiday, another day to stay up and do something that on other days would've probably caused some problems with the authorities (such as flying big flags on motorbikes with a group of friends). Another reason to party, another reason to blow fireworks, another reason to stay out late.
The government reminds us of our leaders, who made it all possible. The club owners take up the opportunity to squeeze money out of their customers, kids take up the opportunity to be patriotic for the sake of mindless fun.
Pointless.
Pointless is the celebration. We are selfish. We don't care about how our forefathers worked so hard for it. They knew the true meaning of independance.
What are we celebrating? I doubt it has anything to do with the country. We didn't do anything for this independence. We played no part in it. We take it for granted.
Pointless it is.
Ironic how we celebrate independence like mad, but do nothing to make the country or society proud of us.
Pathetic. We don't advance. We probably celebrate it because of our friends.
The country does not make us proud, we don't do the same in return.
If i was to say something about the country that i'm proud of, from the top of my head, it would be pirated CDs.

My sentiments exactly.
Our generation don't know how difficult it was, and our generation doesn't care about it.
Merdeka has always been about a huge street party, and I suppose it always will be. There is no patriotism involved, and anybody who declares himself patriotic is probably lying. Or a politician.
Same things, those two.
Sadly, our country has sold herself like a harlot.
If our predecessors who fought for our independence today came again now, they would ask themselves, "Didn't we win the independence for our country? How did our descendants develop to become what we fought not to be colonised into?"
... by sheer choice, we are in cultural effect, still a colony.
