To be a Malaysian

To be a Malaysian.

Is to be a truth seeker in heart

To see beyond what your eyes show you.

To learn from mistakes we have made in our pasts

To be a visionary with our sights set towards the future



To be a Malaysian.

Is to have great strength and to never give up

To brave through hardships and struggles

Accept the huge challenges and hurdles

Overcoming all the adversities



To be a Malaysian.

Is to cherish with all that you've been blessed with

To pledge loyalty to your country

Act honorably and live by good example

To earn respect from others and give respect to those who deserve it.





To be a Malaysian.

Is to preserve your culture and traditions

To never forget your roots and where you come from

To look for the good in every soul

To carry on and uphold the legacy our past leaders have shown
