Kemerdekaan Malaysia was not realised without the struggles of the past. As we celebrate our independence, this artwork reminds us that unity and freedom are hard-earned and must be continuously protected. Our celebration isn’t blind to the struggles faced by others around the world; instead, it reflects the values we share, peace, justice and the strength of community. It stands as a quiet yet powerful reminder of what our nation has achieved and what we must continue to uphold.
The artwork enriches the narrative of Merdeka Month, showing that our celebration of unity isn't blind to global struggles. Instead, it reinforces the idea that freedom and peace are not to be taken for granted and that Malaysians stand in solidarity with all who seek them.
