Written by Bobby Gimby, 'Malaysia Forever' was a celebration of the establishment of the federation of Malaysia in 1963 and was dubbed the unofficial national anthem by Tunku Abdul Rahman, the Prime Minister at the time. 58 years on, we wish you a very Happy Malaysia Day! Malaysia forever, indeed.

Malaysia Forever "Malaysia For Ever" is a folk song, written by Bobby Gimby, which celebrated the formation of Malaysian Federation in 1963. It was taught to school children ...

Throughout history, the white flag has been used not just as a symbol of surrender, but of truce, ceasefire or the granting of safe passage.

For those approaching breaking point in the face of yet another prolonged lockdown, please remember that asking for help is not a sign of defeat; rather, a show of courage and resilience in the face of adversity.

Love, compassion, generosity and humanity are the ties that bind us as Malaysians and regardless of race, religion or creed, kita jaga kita.

50 years ago to the day, the Swoosh became the official logo of Nike. Carolyn Davidson—a graphic design student at Portland State University—was paid just USD$35 for her work, though she was given shares after the company went public. Davidson was inspired by the wings of the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, and her timeless design has since become one of the world's most recognised and best-loved logos.

To those celebrating, Milk PR wishes you a Happy Vesak Day! To everyone else, enjoy the public holiday.
