Adding Colours To Celebrations

I love the independence months, especially in Malaysia during the month of August where the national flags (called 'jalur gemilang') are hanged outside shops and office buildings. And in each state, the state flags will also be seen sometimes together with the country's flag.

Though its a symbolic of patriotism, but this also adds colours to the celebrations, adding more life to the streets and making it a nice drive around the roads :) This really brings up the spirit of Merdeka (Independent)!
