Time Flies II: Malaysia 50th Independence Day

|


Last year, we celebrated the 50th Malaysian Independence Day in Cairo. The first ever grand celebration organized by the Malaysian Embassy and funded by partially PETRONAS to commemorate the 50 years of harmony. Blessed with pleasant ambience, the ceremony was attended by thousands of Malaysian students, Ambassadors from various countries, PETRONAS staff, other Senior Officers of various Malaysian companies in Egypt and the guest of honor was Senator Dato’ Seri Muhammad Muhammad Taib with his Wife.

Malaysia stands at the threshold of a new age. We are afforded opportunities in life that our parents and grandparents only dreamt of. But we also stand in danger of forgetting our past – the values that have defined us as Malaysians for a half century.
This sentiment resonates deeply within the heart of PETRONAS. For over 3 decades, PETRONAS has held the nation’s oil and gas resources in trust for its people and is deeply committed to the future of all Malaysians. Hence the 50th Merdeka Celebration, PETRONAS put forth a single important message to all Malaysians: One Legacy, One Destiny.

We were entertained by some Malaysian cultural features and cuisine in which were looking forward by many. Afi, Muhammad Afiq and Muhammad Asri joined in the match-pass participated by all Malaysian States and few students associations which were very compelling. The colors of Malaysia were really felt by all and it was concluded by the Friday sermon lead by Lt Col. Datuk Ariff. We love you Malaysia.

Any seasoned Merdeka veteran will tell you that the nation’s independence was won through unparalleled dedication and commitment to the task, and the coming together of the various races in the then Malaya to chart a common destiny.

As PETRONASIAN, one should always remember the Energy Receive, Energy Return.
