Exhibits 4: History of Independence

1-5 October 2007:

This week we were pretty busy preparing the exhibits for the Merdeka Walk. The exhibits focused on the History of Independence of Federation of Malaya. This was such a glorious moment for our country when we were successful in pressuring the British to relinquish their sovereignty in August 1957, thus making Federation of Malaya an independent nation.

The exhibits focus on the events leading up to the declaration of Independence on August 31, 1957. There is exhibit showing the delegates going to London led by the late Tunku. There is also the exhibit on the Reid Commission which was responsible for drafting the Constitution of the Federation of Malaya and there is the one showed the official proclamation of independence at Stadium Merdeka on August 31, 1957. The exhibits were presented in A3 paper with very colourful graphics and yet very informative.
