As we draw closer to August, we gear up for one of the most significant and patriotic events of the year – Merdeka Day! This annual celebration brings together numerous organisations, each proudly sending their contingent of marchers to create a vibrant display of unity and togetherness in the spirit of Merdeka.  

This year, we want YOU to join us in this historical celebration! By signing up for the Merdeka Parade at Dataran Putrajaya, you’ll not only be a part of a memorable event but also enjoy some fantastic perks: 

  • Custom Uniforms: Look sharp on the big day in our custom gear, including a specially designed shirt and branded shoes (2018 – Adidas, 2022 – Skechers, 2023 – Adidas, 2024 – 🤔). Plus, look smart in our exclusive Yang Tahan Lasak t-shirts for the rehearsal! 
  • Transportation: Convenient bus rides from Menara YTL to training, rehearsals, and the big day. Special shuttles will be provided to specific sites if there’s a large enough representation. 
  • Refreshments: Breakfast, snacks, and drinks to keep you fueled and energised
