55 Tahun Merdeka ( Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan )

  

Usaha untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan telah diterajui oleh Tunku Abdul Rahman, Perdana Menteri pertama Malaysia, yang mengetuai delegasi menteri dan pemimpin-pemimpin politik Malaya dalam rundingan dengan British di London untuk Merdeka, atau kemerdekaan bersama-sama dengan presiden pertama orang Cina di Tanah MelayuAssociation (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock dan Presiden kelima Malaysian Indian Congress Tun VTSambanthan. Apabila ia menjadi semakin jelas bahawa ancaman Komunis yang ditimbulkan semasa Darurat Malaya telah petering keluar, perjanjian telah dicapai pada 8 Februari 1956, Malaya untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan daripada Empayar British. Walau bagaimanapun, bagi beberapa sebab-sebab logistik dan pentadbiran, ia telah diputuskan bahawa pengisytiharan rasmi kemerdekaan hanya akan dibuat tahun depan, pada 31 Ogos, 1957, di Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), di Kuala Lumpur.
