PEMASYURAN KEMERDEKAAN

Peristiwa pengisytiharaan kemerdekaan

30 Ogos 1957- Bendera Union Jack diturunkan di Padang Kelab Sultan Selangor dan bendera Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dinaikkan.

31 Ogos 1957- Pemasyuran Kemerdekaan di Stadium Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. Wakil Ratu England, Duke of Wellington menyerahkan Pengisytiharaan Kemerdekaan kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Kandungan Pemasyuran Kemerdekaan :-

• Persekutuan Tanah Melayu mencapai taraf merdeka
• Perjanjian Persekutuan Tanah Melayu 1957 ditandatangani bagi membentuk Tanah Melayu
• Kuatkuasa perlembagaan persekutuan 31 Ogos 1957

PERLEMBAGAAN TANAH MELAYU

When Tanah Melayu was on its way to gain independence, they needed an official rule or 'perlembagaan' that will satisfy all races. For that particular purpose, Suruhanjaya Reid was formed. So what exactly did Lord William Reid (President of Surahanjaya Reid) and his people do? Well there were four important things they had worked on...

1) Merangka perlembagaan bagi Tanah Melayu yang akan merdeka
2) Membentuk dan menentukan kuasa kerajaan pusat dan negeri
3) Menjamin kedudukan khas raja-raja Melayu
4) Mewujudkan satu rupa bangsa Tanah Melayu

However Suruhanjaya Reid had to do some changes with the contents so that everyone will agree with it... Perlembagaan Tanah Melayu was completely accepted by the British Parliament in June 1957. Some of the contents that were stated in Perlembagaan Tanah Melayu :-

*****

1) Yang di-Pertuan Agong sebagai ketua negara

2) Perdana Menteri sebagai ketua pentadbiran

3) Agama Islam adalah agama rasmi Tanah Malayu

4) Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan

Let's get it started!

Okay, first step! Watch this great video done by a creative and high-tech university student named Ching Ching. It was a project she had to do at UKM. We thought it was really awesome!!




Were there any tears running down your face when you were watching this video?
Well ask yourself...but you must be wondering how hard it was for our first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman to make this memorable day a reality? And what made Malaysia today? A developing country with world class facilities? In the next post, we hope your curiousity will be cleared.. :)

Sejarah again? It's alright...

It's our very first post!! So the thing is, we had to create a blog on Bab 5 (Sejarah textbook) entitled Kemerdekaan Negara 31 Ogos 1957. Well of course it is pretty rushing since we have to start right after trials but it's fine... So four of us in a group will put real effort in making this 'serious' blog a good one. Hope the readers gain something from this alright!! And we will even put in some 'hard to get' videos too... So feel free to click on the play button, okay?! :)
