Malaysia Day greetings

Happy Malaysia Day

Although we had just celebrated our country’s 63rd Independence Day two weeks ago, there is another significant day ahead of us as we celebrate 57th Malaysia Day on Wednesday 16 September 2020. We would like to take this opportunity to greet all our fellow Malaysians a very Happy Malaysia Day in advance!

Our favourite patriotic ads this year

A truly Malaysian tradition, the merdeka month calls for patriotic commercial advertisements. We have watched most of them; some got us feeling nostalgic and some got us feeling proud. So here are some of our top picks this year:

A heartfelt video showcasing local artisans in creating masterpieces that are uniquely Malaysian. 

A music video embracing our colourful and vibrant Malaysian culture.  

A passionate narrative video with a backdrop of our national heroes and everyday Malaysians, igniting the patriotic spirit in all of us. 

How about you? Which is your favorite? Share it with us on our Facebook or Graduate School Blog in the comment section!
