  From this moment our we as the citizen of Malaysia should thankful that there is someone who willing to protect us from the enemy who try to rip our independent. Making this as our caution that we are in peace but there is always some treat that can take away our freedom. Therefore, why we should we always keep remind our younger generation about how hard are to get the independent for the future generation then please buried the seed of patriotism into our heart and mind to make sure our independent of 56 will secure for our new generation.

Song of Odd of Our Warrior 

This is our odd (Rukun Negara) to Malaysia and it is must for us to remember this.

Our nation, Malaysia, is being dedicated to:
Achieving a greater unity of all her people;
Maintaining a democratic way of life;
Creating a just society in which the wealth of the nation shall be equitably shared;
Ensuring a liberal approach to her rich and diverse cultural tradition;
and building a progressive society which shall be oriented to modern science and technology.

We, the people of Malaysia, pledge our united efforts to attain these ends, guided by these principles:
BELIEVE IN GOD
LOYALTY TO KING AND COUNTRY
UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION
RULES OF THE LAW
GOOD BEHAVIOUR AND MORALITY

The Silent Army

The vast army is nearly silent now.
The old ones are slipping away
to join the young ones patrolling
the endless shadowlands of memories.

The familiar strains of Auld Lang Syne
play softly in the mind
while stories of the vast army
are writ with growing urgency
for later generations to learn
of the disease of war and its cure
achieved by the pain and sacrifice
of the youth of the vast army.

Raw memories of Sandakan sacrifice
so long buried in secrecy
weep for a History for the Ages
to tell generations to come
of the evil that was done here;
of the strength that was found here;
of the succor that was given here;
of the hope that was born here.

Sandakan’s History for the Ages
is in our “Windows from the Heart”
our gift of love to those on endless patrol
in the shadowlands of our memories.

This poem written by John Lewis in 2004, which is dedicated to the memory of a beautiful and gallant lady, Marjorie Pryor, wife of Les and sister-in-law of Darcy who died at Ranau.

   This are the video about a asking what is peace to us   and it question us how peace we are actually. Peace     is  like free to us because we thought we been      independent but we never knew the treat always can     come to us. Then who is going to protect us, of  course   our policemen and soldier. But we never  knew how    that their sacrifice to us is biggest than  any of our    sacrifice because they protect our  country, our    independent and their family. They die  for us who    never knew what is the real patriotic are  actually.        Therefore please watch this video to tell  us and remind   us of our warrior or hero are actually.

   In this video is about the confession of soldier or policemen who die protecting our country in Lahad Datu confront. The brave warrior said about how he sorry to his wives that he cannot present himself to rise their kid together. Then he sorry toward his parents who had rise him as good son and useful to the country. To his kid who he cannot present to see them grow up. Lastly, to his country the beloved Malaysia sorry for fallen in the combat for the country. Therefore, please listen to this sentimental confession of the great warrior.

Throught out the video we can sense the patriotic feeling of people who die protecting  our country.

People Who Serve for The Country

People Who Serve for The Country

Our memorial of warrior monument

Have you ever think of people who die serve for country, what they think, feel and suffered only for their country. Everyone know what is Patriotic but never ever exactly experience it their self. The Lahad Datu incident had us rethink the suffered once this country ever had for centuries. In POW situation have you ever know what happen when you get into POW camp someday, have you ever think that all. We take example from the Sergeant Hassan movie lead by P.Ramlee when they been capture by Japanese soldier. Not enough nutrition and been force to work. Sergeant Hassan manage to run but got shot by Japanese it show that we need to take this as the remind of us how hard are they out soldier, our hero resisted to against those people who want to take our country and our freedom. Therefore, I personally wanted we to rethink what is the meaning of Patriotic to us.
