As many are well aware, on August 31, 2023, our nation will celebrate its 66th year of independence. This year's Independence Day celebration with the theme "Malaysia Madani: Unity's Resolve, Hope's Fulfillment" will take place at Dataran Putrajaya in the Federal Territory of Putrajaya. 

In conjunction with this celebration, those involved in ensuring the success of the upcoming event have been tirelessly preparing, and yesterday marked a full dress rehearsal for the event scheduled to take place on Thursday.

Even though this is only a rehearsal, you can already see how many people have come to watch and support those involved in the parade. It's a full house! Let's not forget the fire brigade members who gained widespread attention last year; they're making a comeback this year too. You guys really captured their attention closely!

For those who want to witness the parade on August 31st, make sure to arrive early as the event will kick off as early as 7:00 AM. Be sure to be aware of the road closures on that day, and if you want to avoid getting stuck in traffic, it's advised to use the MRT to get to Putrajaya.
