Every year, when August 31st comes around, Malaysians from all walks of life unite to celebrate the nation’s independence. This year marks 68 years of freedom since that historic day in 1957 when the word Merdeka echoed seven times at Stadium Merdeka.
For many of us, Merdeka is not just about waving the Jalur Gemilang or attending parades. It is about reflecting on the sacrifices of our forefathers and appreciating the blessings we enjoy today — peace, stability, and the ability to dream of a better tomorrow.

What Merdeka Means to Us as Malaysians
To the average Malaysian, independence is felt in simple, everyday ways:
- The freedom to live, work, and raise our families in a peaceful country.
- The chance for our children to grow up with equal opportunities, regardless of race or background.
- The ability to enjoy roti canai for breakfast, nasi lemak for lunch, and char kuey teow for dinner — all under one roof of diversity.
These little things remind us that our unity is truly our greatest strength.

This Year’s Theme: Malaysia MADANI – Rakyat Disantuni
The official theme for this year’s celebration is “Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni”, which translates to Civilised Malaysia: The People Are Respected.
It is a powerful reminder that a strong nation is built not only on economic progress but also on compassion, inclusivity, and respect for one another. A Malaysia where every citizen feels heard, valued, and supported — regardless of who they are.

AnsarComp’s Reflection as a Malaysian Company
At AnsarComp, independence means more than just history. It means having the stability and freedom to innovate, grow, and serve our clients and communities.
Our work in regulatory approvals, compliance, and consultancy is only possible because we live in a nation that values peace, order, and fairness. We see ourselves not just as a business, but as citizens with a responsibility — to contribute to Malaysia’s progress while holding on to values of integrity and unity.
Just like how Malaysia thrives on diversity, our own team thrives on different skills, backgrounds, and strengths — all working towards the same vision.

Moving Forward, Together
As we celebrate 68 years of Merdeka, let’s take a moment to appreciate how far we’ve come and where we are heading. The journey of Malaysia has not always been easy, but it has always been worth it.
May this year’s theme inspire us all to treat one another with respect, kindness, and dignity. Because when the Rakyat are respected, the Nation will flourish.
