Past is the Fundamental to All Success

Malayan Railways Limited (KTM Berhad) is the country’s first and main railway operator. Built in 1917, its headquarters building features Islamic-Western architectural elements, creating an impression of classic elegance. To me, it represents Malaysia as it witnessed the economic growth and revolutions of the country over the past century. Furthermore, its historical design denotes the history and timeline of our country in a certain way, contrasting Malaysia’s past of being part of a colonised country with its present status as an independent country.

The Hidden Gem of Malaysia

The New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building with the "payung" (umbrella) roof is truly an iconic landmark for Sarawak. This shot was taken on the 25th of August 2018 when I was walking along the Kuching waterfront. I bumped into some locals making huge bubbles which granted me my opportunity to capture this unique shot of the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building with bubbles as the foreground. To me, this photo represents Malaysia through my eyes because Sarawak isn't expressed enough in Malaysia than it should be and  many West Malaysians don't know the hidden gems which can be found in Sarawak. So, all can start off by remembering this iconic building of Sarawak, Malaysia.

The flag that unites us all, as Malaysians.

This photo features our Malaysian flag, the "Jalur Gemilang" which I feel is a symbol that defines who we are.
Our hopes,our culture,our history and our diversity.This shot was taken on the 24th of August 2018 at the Recreation Lake Centre in Putrajaya.
This was taken with the vivid sky as the background because that is how I see us Malaysians,united as one,setting aside our differences, embracing each other to carry Malaysia upwards and onwards. As the saying goes “The sky’s the limit”. That is Malaysia through my eyes.

Two national icons in a single shot. Both of them are synonymous with Malaysia. The national flower is a representation of Malaysia's beauty that comes from its diversity of people and the cultures. What about the nasi lemak? It's the first thing we think of about Malaysia - its mouthwatering food!

This photo features the Putra Mosque which is the principal mosque of Putrajaya, Malaysia and the Jalur Gemilang flag which was attached behind the cruise, this photo was taken during my  Putrajaya Lake Cruise when I was attending my orientation in foundation , on 3 of May 2018.

I like how the beating of the waves by the cruise bot illustrate how YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman rode his car convoy and headed from Ayer Keroh to the Padang Pahlawan (Padang Merdeka) at Melaka just to announce our Independence Day to the public which falls on 31 August 1957.This was actually a random picture that I took despite the blazing sun that blured my vision but because the picture was took randomly it was the flag that highlighted the whole picture. Just like our multicultural, multiracial and the mother tongues we speak it was the “randomness” that makes us Malaysian.

The most appealing  feature of Kuala Lumpur city is the presence of deciduous trees that have stood the test of time for several years and shrubs planted along the side of a road. This is the first country I have visited with magnificent combination of high-rise buildings in avant-garde style and exotic trees whose number outweighs 650.000 pieces. One of them is the ornamental shrub which is a novelty for me when I came across recently in city center.

My photo was taken from my bedroom window in Damansara Heights of the KL skyline at dawn. It features some of Malaysia's most iconic structures including the Petronas Twin Towers and KL tower. This photo was taken about a year ago on the 6th of October 2017.

I think my photo represents a new day for Malaysia. A new beginning for our country. A united Malaysia at peace. A free Malaysia. We are 1 Malaysia.

This photo was taken during my secondary school's Hari Merdeka Celebration last year. In it, we see the loud cheers of the 'Dewan' of students aging 13-17.

Through my eyes, I see Malaysia maturing as time progresses. Every ticking of the clock, I can visualise the promising youths playing their efforts and dreams in contribution to this developing nation. Whether it be representing the Jalur Gemilang in the sports scene, materializing in the music biz, modernising local tech and even small roles like street food vendors that make your mee goreng for RM2.00. My point, young children as we say in Bahasa Malaysia "Umur setahun jagung, darah setampuk pinang" has me feeling confident for the future.

This photo is taken at Indian Street, Kuching; featuring a mural.
Do you remember? The live night market scenario printed on one of the pages in our “Bahasa Malaysia” textbooks when we were young; diligent hawkers shouting to attract customers, with stalls full of local food and drinks. We could also see one of the national treasures of Malaysia - the Bornean Orang Utans appearing in our Science textbooks.
Why did I mention the textbooks in school? That’s because those textbooks, published in our country Malaysia, were one of our precious memories from childhood. I believe every Malaysians can relate to this photo, and reminisce on that familiar childhood memory.

This photograph was taken during the opening ceremony of the 29th Southeast Asian Games on the 19th of August 2017 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. This picture consists of Malaysian athletes marching whilst proudly waving their country’s flag and volunteers happily dancing away.

Through my eyes, this represents Malaysia as athletes of different races, cultures and religions are united under one single flag, the Jalur Gemilang, with hopes of bringing glory to their beloved country, Malaysia.

The photo was taken in September 2018 at Heriot Watt University Malaysia. It shows a group of friends of different races having a casual conversation amongst each other.

Through my eyes, this photo shows that Malaysia is made up of a population that is diverse in terms of religion, race and ethnicity. We are different from each other in more ways than one. From the food we eat to the language we speak, we are different. Despite these differences, we always find a way to live together harmoniously while enjoying it. We don’t consider ourselves Malay, Chinese, Indian or any other race, we are Malaysian. (77 words)

The photo was taken on the 3rd of May 2018, on the Putrajaya lake cruise during HWUM MFP orientation.
Most Malaysians have the misconception about Putrajaya as “a boring city with nothing to see”. I was really taken aback by the breath-taking sights of Putrajaya which I had never ever expected at all.

Coincidently, I captured the moment when “Jalur Gemilang” fluttered into the same frame as the Putra Mosque. Putrajaya in my eyes, is like the spine of Malaysia, supporting our nation and giving hope to the different generations of Malaysia. I hope this photo make people realise the significance of Putrajaya to Malaysia, as a nation full of hope and peace is the Malaysia through my eyes.

This picture of the magnificent hibiscus flower came to be when I was walking through some parks during a humid morning during school vacation.

Since Merdeka was right around the corner during the time, I decided to take a picture as a nod to our beloved country.

When I shared my pictures online, there was no question that the moment people saw the flower, people started to remember what it represents, our country, our Malaysia.

The picture was taken on 1st of September, during a charity food and fun fair. While it was crowded, we can see the rays of light singling out the child from the mass. This picture speaks about how important each child is to a country, because they carry infinite potential for growth: and also how important parents' love is to a child, because that is the catalyst of our growth.

Our country's future depends on that little girl, and all those like her. That is why I can relate the title to this picture. After all, this is a picture of our future.
