It still seems surreal that the 2020 we’ve been looking forward to since ‘Wawasan 2020’ is here, doesn’t it? It’s here yet 2020 is not at all what anyone expected let alone foresaw! 😱

With COVID-19 and the world on lockdown, it has been quite the year with a lot of firsts- such as first Ramadan and Raya at home and now, first Merdeka, a yearly celebration of our country’s independence with grand fireworks and extravagant performances at Dataran Merdeka and Putrajaya. Now with it having to be indoors, it will definitely be one to remember.

Everyone has their own Merdeka traditions like driving up the perfect hill for the best view for fireworks at midnight or a Merdeka sleepover with a movie special, kan? What’s yours? We love waking up to watch the parade on TV the next morning in our PJs, eating nasi lemak, and sipping on hot teh tarik with cousins.

But Senior Defense Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri announced in early June that the Merdeka celebrations and parade will not be happening this year due to COVID-19. With the numbers starting to climb again, it’s perhaps for the best.

 

Imagine empty streets on Merdeka day 😰

Having said that, let’s make the best out of #StayHomeMerdeka and keep ourselves safe until we ‘Merdeka’ from COVID-19!
