Merdeka

What's Merdeka to me. Heem, I don't know´?
1963 ,KL was a far far away city from my royal town, only the rich can go to KL. The only shout of Merdeka! Merdeka !can only be heard from the radio and if the radio run out of baterries then you went to sleep early at 9.00 pm to save fuel from our gasoline lamp.

1973,KL was just a 6 hours train ride away from my royal town, only the rich can travel first class. And the Merdeka celebration can be seen on TV, only the rich can have coloured TV . And if there was a black out, you can played guitar with your friends by the road side.

1983, KL was just a 4 hours of bus ride from my royal town.Only the rich travelled by car .I can joined the Merdeka celebration after a break at Pudu Station for my trip to Temasek.

1993, KL was just a 3 hours ride in a proton car from my royal town. Only the rich can bought Toyota. I can joined the Merdeka festivities at the stroke of 12.00 and went to sleep in the wee bit of the morning in China Town hotel.

2003, KL was just a 2 hours ride in a Toyota car from my royal town.Only the rich can have a Mercedes. I enjoyed the festivities spirit with the family in a hotel at the Putra.

2013, KL is just KL, its two hours ride from Temasek, JB what JB?, it is Kuan Yew City . Merdeka is celebrated on the 10th of Aug.
