"I Have A Dream" (Malaysian version of Martin Luther King's famous speech

More than 50 years ago, our country was once colonised under cruel tryanny of the British invaders. Our ancestors were exiled in their own country and there was not a single drop of justice anywhere. Our children deprived of their rights for education while the whites devoured our nation's riches and left us in the darkest shadows of poverty.

But our ancestors refused to be enslaved in their own land. More than 50 years ago, people like Mat Kilau, Dato Maharajalela, Dol Said and Tok Janggut shedded their blood to fight against the invaders. It took many years of sweat and blood before, finally, 50 years ago, came a man who united all the people of our country regardless of their skin colour, language and beliefs.

50 years ago, the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians, the Ibans, the Kadazans, ecetera, ecetera and ecetera came together to fight for independence, for freedom from the slavery of their own land.

50 years ago, on the 31st of August, 1957, the man who united our people, Tunku Abdul Rahman, shouted the words that will go down in history and remembered by many generations, Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Thank God we are free! We are free at last!

Fast foward 50 years later, as our country is going to achieve our 5oth year of independence, I have a dream that that our country will continue to prosper and remain strong as it always has been if not stronger!
I have a dream that the unity of our people will become an example to the world community so that they will learn to live in peace with each other.
I have a dream that one day my children, their children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy the freedom and peace I enjoyed today, that they will be able discover themselves and their potentials and find happiness in this free country.
As for myself, I have a dream that I will be able to give something back to my country which has brought many happiness to me.

May Malaysia continue to prosper!
May Malaysia's name be shouted and known at every mountain tops in the world!
May Malaysia grow stronger and achieve Vision 2020!
May Malaysia remain peaceful and the people in unity!
May the forefathers of our nation be proud of what this nation has achieve 50 years now and 50 years in the future!
