Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule on 31 August 1957. In a wider context, it is to celebrate the formation of Malaysia. What a memorable !!!
So this year 2011 and today, Malaysia celebrate it’s 54th Independence Day ( Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia 2011 ) on celebrated on Wednesday, 31 August 2011. The Malaysia national independence will be celebrated throughout August 2011 and possibly extended to mid-September 2011.

The celebration last year was slightly toned down due to Ramadan still being in progress, however, this year Hari Merdeka and Hari Raya (the end of Ramadan festivities) fall nearly on the same day. I expect one heck of a celebration!
Malaysia is a relatively young country! They only just gained their independence from the British on August 31, 1957. Speaking with older Malaysians who watched the country being born is exciting; us Americans cannot really relate.
Expect August 31st to be filled with the usual flag waving, a parade, military presentation, and lots of cultural activities. Traffic usually peaks out as tourists come to see what is going on and many local residents enjoy a rare day with family rather than at work.
