What Makes Me a Malaysian
Malaysia, is a country which cannot be defined in a word. The citizens are from different races and religion. The unity in these different cultures is what that makes Malaysia a wonderful country. One may ask who started all this or rather who brought all these multiracial aspects together in one country. All these will be answered as we go along.

Back in 1957,Tunku Abdul Rahman made his way through every hardship to give independence to Malaysia, then known as Malaya. On 31st August 1957 in Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman also known as the Father of Independence made Malaya proud by announcing the independence of Tanah Melayu. The memorable announcement was held at the Stadium Merdeka and it has now become a historical destination.

The reason why I mentioned earlier on who brought about the multiracial aspect in Malaysia is because Tunku Abdul Rahman did not go for the negotiation with the British in London all by himself. But, Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Tun V.T. Sambathan followed him as well. Without any of us realizing, our Father of Independence had unite the three main races since then. We are the followers of what they had done and that is something to be proud about. If it wasn't for them the peace, unity and harmony that we are enjoying today might not happen.

Besides all that has been mentioned above, Malaysia has many tourism spots that has been center of attractions till to date. From beautiful islands to the city centers, every state has a center of attraction. We may not experience four seasons in a year, but we enjoy historical places and beautiful islands that for sure will bring you back for more.

Coming back to our subject matter, what makes me a Malaysian? From all that I have explained above, there are many ways that makes me or rather us a Malaysian. Let’s see what others has to say about this.
