Malaysia Day is observed annually on September 16 to celebrate the creation of the Malaysian Federation in 1963. This day commemorates the nation's unified cultural and linguistic diversity, and the celebrations include national ceremonies that demonstrate Malaysians' unity and strength. Many Malay people mark this day by paying respects to the hundreds of people who gave their lives to obtain independence by visiting 'Tugu Negara,' the National Monument in Kuala Lumpur.
Pay respect to the thousands of Malaysian soldiers and citizens who sacrificed their lives in the country's war for independence.
Attend one of the many national celebrations held by the government to honor Malaysian unity.

Listen to and recite Malaysian national songs.
Malaysia Day is celebrated every year to commemorate the historic moment when East Malaysian states of Sarawak and North Borneo joined Singapore and the Federation of Malaya to establish the Malaysian Federation.
Singapore was expelled from Malaysia on August 9, 1965, just two years after the creation of the Malaysian Federation.
Malaysia Day is a day of victory and unity as Malay, East Malaysia, and Singapore created an alliance to form a single nation. Several ceremonies are held to celebrate this occasion and bring all Malaysians closer to each other despite their religious and linguistic diversities.
The Malaysian government declared Malaysia Day as the second national holiday, the other one being Hari Merdeka (Independence Day). This day is celebrated not only to remind Malaysians of the struggles faced by their forefathers in bringing independence to the country but also to recognize the unity and strength of Malaysians and raise their morale.
Also known as Hari Malaysia, Malaysia Day marks the anniversary of the formation of the Malaysian Federation on September 16, 1963. On this day, East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, Singapore, and the Federation of Malaya united to create a single nation- Malaysia.
