Many thanks, Malaysia, for accommodating me here;

Land of tranquillity so dear, with mix of cultures so clear;

All living much together, spurts of dissension we do hear;

Triggered by malicious no-gooders, bent on acquiring power!

Absence of natural calamities, presence of gourmet delicacies;

Tolerance of unique intricacies, practised by various ethnicities;

Admired by visitors and celebrities, envied by many adversaries;

A nation of potpourri anomalies, yet, able to overcome difficulties!

Some scream we can do better, if only we dare meander;

From path trodden deemed clever, by one termed ‘Father’;

Of a nation in ’57 chapter, freed from shackles of coloniser;

Sans blood being spilt asunder, sans violence as seen yonder!

‘Tis agreed mutually, that this be a nation of multi-ethnicity;

Privileges accorded to a community, meant to achieve equity;

Ne’er expected to infer superiority, nor a licence to be bossy;

As being claimed currently, as being acted sans humility!

The cake is enormous, for those seeking life harmonious;

For miscreants out to cause a ruckus, nothing is sanctimonious;

Their hopes so reckless, their wherewithal of existence so callous;

Leading nation quite close, to conflagration so serious!

Let’s recant nation’s aspiration, when ‘twas born out of trepidation;

We are one in unison, though dissimilar in religious conviction;

Aiming to lead a life of compassion, not one leading to oblivion;

Tolerating one another’s cultural dimension, building a rich dominion!

56 years we’ve been striving, to make Malaysia pleasant for living;

Successes we’ve been achieving, some failures were also forthcoming;

Let’s all resolve to continue aspiring, Malaysia to continue prospering;

Let’s play our role in ensuring, existing peace, never to be forsaking!
