True Meaning of Independence

Merdeka, merdeka, merdeka..

51 years ago Tunku Abdul Rahman, the 1st prime minister of Malaysia headed thousands of crowds at Stadium Merdeka chanting merdeka which literally means independence.

What is independence, are we independent when we abide to terms and conditions set up by colonials to please themselves? After all, the people who were chosen to lead our country were the people who were employed by the colonial, many at times much more colonial than the colonials themselves.

Are we independent when Malaya previously governed by Islam State with islamic jurisprudence, then post merdeka era we were governed by secular?

Are we independent when our religion, Islam is only dictated under shariah law which is a mere small part of the whole constitution?

People, we are not really independent until we only subjected to only one God, not to human nor to system created by human...

Think about it...
