Thousands attend Merdeka Day: Promises Fulfilled rally

Some 150,000 patriotic Malaysians gathered at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil for the Promises Fulfilled rally in conjunction with the Merdeka Day celebrations on Friday.

The multi-racial boisterous crowd stood as one as they joined in to watch some performance-packed events.

The crowd excitedly waved the Jalur Gemilang flag and cheered loudly as Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah entered the stadium at 8.30pm followed by fireworks.

Najib and Rosmah led the country's leaders and Gen Y participants on a 380m 'unity walk' in the stadium before proceeding to the centre of the stadium where the main stage was located.

One of the main highlights of the event is the Tweet Up Merdeka where organizers hope to set a new world record by getting one million tweets in an hour between 8.15pm and 9.15pm via #Merdeka55.

Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim thanked everyone for turning up in full force to celebrate Merdeka Day in the spirit of patriotism.
