As we commemorate another year of independence, let us reflect on the unity, diversity, and rich heritage that define Malaysia. This National Day, we draw inspiration from two powerful symbols of our nation’s spirit and identity: the Malayan tiger and the hibiscus, also known as Bunga Raya, our national flower. While the majestic Malayan tiger symbolises our nation's strength and courage; nature, in its wisdom, has also given us the False Tiger Moth, a smaller but equally determined creature that bears the same striking colors and camouflage as the tiger, embodying the adaptability and perseverance that characterise our people. The beautiful Bunga Raya stands as a vibrant symbol of the beauty and vitality of our people, reflecting the celebration of unity in a multicultural nation. Together, they remind us that regardless of size or strength, each of us plays a vital role in the mosaic of our nation. Let us cherish the intricate beauty of our ecosystem - the diverse landscapes, species, and cultures that make us who we are. Selamat Menyambut Hari Kebangsaan Yang Ke-67 from The Datai Langkawi! #TheDataiLangkawi #DiscoverDatai #HariKebangsaan
