Malaysia’s Independence Day or ‘Hari Merdeka’ in Malay, is observed on August 31 every year to commemorate the Malayan Declaration of Independence of August 31, 1957. In addition, Malaysia Day is celebrated on the 16th of September each year to commemorate the merging of the State of Sabah and Sarawak into the Federation of Malaya in 1963 to form what is known now as Malaysia.

 

We were delighted to host the event this year with the leaders and friends in WA.

 

Thank you for your gracious presence.

 

To all Malaysians in WA, Happy Independence Day and Happy Malaysia Day 2021!
