Wishing all my Malaysian friends Selamat Hari Merdeka for tomorrow.
The hibiscus flower or Bunga Raya is our beautiful national flower.
“The word bunga in Malay means “flower”, while raya in Malay means “celebratory” or “grand”. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is literally known as the “celebratory flower” in Malay. The red of the petals symbolizes the courage, life, and rapid growth of the Malaysian, and the five petals represent the five Rukun Negara of Malaysia. ” source Wikipedia
The 5 Rukun Malaysia or principles in order to achieve unity, democracy, equality, cultural diversity, and progress are:
BELIEF IN GOD
LOYALTY TO KING AND COUNTRY
SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION
RULE OF LAW
COURTESY AND MORALITY

A belated Selamat hari (day?) merdeka to Malaysia. I always think of Malaysia as an example of development since Independence. Surely some things can be improved, but tou have come a long way. 👍🏻
I remember the word “bunga” from Bahasa Malayu teaching sessions. Wrote down raya as one more word in little “booklet”. Terima kasih… 🙏🏻
