KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) – The Ministry of National Unity, through the National Archives of Malaysia (ANM), has introduced the “Anak Merdeka Malaysia” initiative to ignite patriotic spirit in conjunction with this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) celebrations.
In a statement today, the ministry said the programme also aims to honour Malaysians born on two of the nation’s most historic dates – August 31 and September 16 – as a symbol of the country’s struggle, independence and unity.
Minister of National Unity Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang said in the statement that the initiative is not merely about celebrating birthdays, but also about recognising the profound meaning those dates hold in strengthening national identity and patriotism.
“Through ‘Anak Merdeka Malaysia’, we are not only celebrating their birthdays, but also uniting the voices of the people under one national identity.
“This is the true face of Malaysia MADANI – a nation that honours its history, nurtures hope, and unites its people,” said Aaron.
According to the ministry, registration is now open to all Malaysian citizens who share a birthday on either of these two historic dates, regardless of background, age or ethnicity.
The statement added that those who register will be given the special opportunity to take part in various activities during the official national-level celebrations, receive commemorative gifts, and be honoured as symbolic national heroes representing the spirit of Malaysian unity.
“The Ministry of National Unity calls on all Malaysians to help spread this information to family members, friends and local communities, so that more people can be celebrated as part of the Merdeka legacy.
“This is our chance as citizens to strengthen patriotism through inclusive and meaningful participation,” the statement said.
Registration can be done easily by scanning the QR code on the promotional poster or by visiting the official link: https://forms.gle/Zd3fPnGaJwFgWeHNA.
