They used a dance to represent that Malaysia is a country which has peoples of different races and different cultures, but still manage to live together in harmony. Hope that we can enjoy such events in the future days in KMKK too. Proud to be a Malaysian. :)

It was great to see people in different culture background working together as a team and pull out an amazing performance representing different ethnic group with unique culture in Malaysia. I like how the choreography includes our traditional dance move from each culture. Hope to see this kind of event soon in KMKK.

This video made me proud to be a Malaysian and I think that no matter what colour of skin or which culture we came from, responsibility tht we have on this country is same which is respect and love our country as much as possible and respect other cultures too in our country.

When i watch this video at the youtube, i think this video can give some benefits to audience/people.this is because the movement of that dance can used as aerobics movement.People can make it as guide to do aerobic at their home.Since pandemic covid 19 come,this virus cause people can't go to outside,so people can use this dance to do aerobic at their home.This is can make people body stay healthy althougt people not go to exercise at outside.Goodjob to the all dancer!

When i watched this video,i was so glad because there are still adolescents who are good at dancing.Nowadays,most of teenagers assume that the traditional dances is a 'old school' dance.After that,in my opinion,how to enhance the love towards Malaysia is retaining our traditional food,dances and games in our daily life.For example,parent can introduce any traditional games to their child.So that,they can fill their leisure time with beneficial activities instead of playing video games and enhance their patriotism towards Malaysia at the same time.

After i watched the video,it was a great performance by the students.For me, the dance will strengthen the relationship between cultures and races that represent Malaysia.I am also proud when the students showed unity to each other in order to keep the peace for Malaysia .So i think students can enhance their patriotisme towards our beloved country.

This dance really shows the cooperation and creativity of the students in making this performance a marvellous success. The dance moves fit the background music well and it is an artistic display of art in essence. Hope that Covid - 19 pandemics will end soon and we can return to the times when we are allowed to mingle around one another.

When I watched the video it reminded me of memories when I’m used to dance at school..and I’d reconized some type of dances that represented sabah dances,chinese and indian dances hehe..The performance was amazing and it showed all of the races in malaysia.

fatinamylia said...

i think the lyrics was very good bcs the way they introduce malaysia through that song....
especially the "a land of many races" one.as everyone know that malysia has many races.

Farhana Afieqa said...

I think they were very committed to the dance because they can work smoothly and give the best in their dance. It shows that they are support each other even they were busy with their studies. I hope i can involved in every performance so that i can feel the feelings of work together with other races

Nasiruddin Hanif said...

The multiple languages such as English, Malay, and Chinese really shows the multiple races that coexists and complete each other in Malaysia. It really shows to all people in the world that Malaysia is a land that accepts people for who they are despite their racial and religion.

Nurashifa said...

Merdeka Day Celebration shows that Malaysia a harmony country that have many race and culture.This celebration not only mean for Malaysian but it also help people around the world to know about Malaysia.

Rachelle said...

In my opinion, the students are embracing various cultures in Malaysia by dancing to a combination of traditional dances. Hence, we can learn that it is important to be open-minded to live in a multiracial country like Malaysia because accepting and respecting our cultural differences is the main key to a harmonious society.

Nur adriana said...

i think their dance was really good because they used different races to show the culture in malaysia which consists of various races and religions.

Ayzad said...

The video was nice and meaningful to me. It teaches us to respect every culture whether in their language or celebration. This will greatly help reduce racism in this country and give more knowledge to many other countries

Nazifah Ridzwan said...

The video was a good example as Malaysia is one of the country that has a lot of races. From the video, I want to conclude that we might be have different culture background but we can live in harmony as everyone supposed to spread love instead of hate.

Ibad Harzan said...

From the synchronised choreography to the participation of members from various races, that video truly symbolises the uniqueness of Malaysia. The choreography consists of multiple dances from numerous cultures and the song that was paired with it uses multiple languages and not just English. We often question how we can achieve peace and hormony within a country with diversed races when the answer is simply to understand and respect each other. The recognition and inclusiveness of others' traditions and cultures into our society is the main key of a harmonious country. Kudos to the students for being able to create such in impactful video for our national Independence Day despite having such a packed schedule!

A graceful had been performed by ex-Kedah Engineering Matriculation College’s students. This dance involves numerous types of traditional dance in Malaysia such as Zapin dance, Ngajat and Sumazau dance. This shows creativity of students in this college which can come up with an idea to show the unity of all races in Malaysia. Speaking of unity of all races in Malaysia, this dance video had been performed by student from various kind of races. Before the performance, they must had practiced together to make the dance more synchronise and perfect. This show that there is no border and gap between all races in Malaysia.

Other than that, the song use in this performance is very meaningful cause it shows the uniqueness of Malaysia. It involves three different languages which is Malay that shows as mother tongue of Malaysian people, English which shows as secondary language in Malaysia and universal language and Mandarin which shows one of the races in Malaysia. In my opinion, the song for the performance can be more improve by using traditional and modern music instruments for making background music for the song. This can show, that Malaysia is a country that have a unique culture and a very advanced country that can compete with the global power country. The song also can be more impactful by adding Tamil language in it. By adding this, all major races in Malaysia can be introduced easily to all viewers.

Furthermore, the students’ outfits had a very detailed information which is, theirs shirt have all four colours of Malaysia National Flag. For the girls, they wear ‘kain batik’ which is the exclusive clothes that can be found in Malaysia. However, I do think that wearing traditional outfits of different races in Malaysia can make this performance more great. In my point of view, this outfits will be a good way to teach Malaysian and tourists around the world about the tradition and culture in Malaysia. Positively thinking, the dancers wouldn’t have any problem with outfits because this dance involves a simple and easy movements.

It’s undeniable facts that this performance is a way to enhance our love towards Malaysia cause all Malaysian willing to fight for protecting their culture and traditions. In addition, learning history about the hero who made the Malaysia became an independent nation can also enhance our love towards Malaysia. All of us can be more patriotic and proud to be Malaysian.

Their dance were perfect. I really like it and enjoy the music with combine of their perfect dance . It show about the harmony among them because one of them was an indian girl. It show the harmony with a diff nation. They were practice together for only 1 week and they were success to make a perfect for a Merdeka Day Celebration. Thats was the easiest way to show about how we love to our country and reduce our racism in this country .

Haireil Zairul said...

From this video, its show that malaysia have a lot of races but we can can live harmony and also we as the malaysian must represent a good attitude to other country so that malaysia will be respected by other country and make malaysia become an example for them

Afiq aiman said...

This video show to us that malaysia have people different race and religion.It also tell us that malaysia a lot of culture from different race.so we can enhance our love toward malaysia by respecting to the jalur gemilang and negaraku song and visit our museum.

Fatin Insyirah said...

The choreography was beautiful and perfect. They should be praised because they dare to perform impressively and uniquely combined the traditional dances in one excellent performance. I think this is one of the best ways to promote our unique culture to all people worldwide. Even though our country has a large number of citizens of various races, religions and cultures, but we still can live in a harmonious and peaceful country as one big family. Therefore, we have to thank the national fighters who have managed to maintain the peace of our country until now.

Danial Hanafi said...

This video is the result of peace and harmony the people in Malaysia have achieved. Without them, this kind of video that combine a lot of culture in the dance would have not exist. The people in the video gives a warm feeling and a sense of unity among Malaysian towards the people who watch it.

Ying Shan said...

Felt so warm to see seniors from different races and cultures worked hard to show their patriotism through a dance. Dances like Zapin, Baratham, Sumazau and other types of traditional dances in Malaysia were included in the choreography. The song that contains English, Malay and Chinese lyrics also showed that Malaysia is a nation with various languages and cultures. Proud to be Malaysian.
