SJBA Merdeka Celebration

The national flag Jalur Gemilang was raised high with great pride at the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association when its devoteess celebrated the 52nd Independence Day of Malaysia on 31st August 2009.



After a "Merdeka breakfast" for everybody who came for the celebration, the SJBA president Chim Siew Choon gave a Merdeka welcoming speech.

The resident monk of SJBA Venerable Nyanaramsi was then invited to officiate the opening of the new temple mural with Dhammapada verse 183 on it.

All the merdeka babies were invited to celebrate their birthday with a cake.


Happy 52nd Merdeka Day



Present during the celebration were Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh, Kelana Jaya Federal Development Officer Ong Chong Swen and Subang Jaya Federal Development Officer Lee You Hin.


Devotees were very proud to sing the patriotic song "Jalur Gemilang"


So is this patriotic kid.
