M
alaysia is in turmoil as of late. The 1MDB scandal,
the weakening ringgit, and the reshuffling of
cabinet are putting the nation in a lot of distress.
Truth be told, the country is now famous for all the wrong
reasons. Despite the current state of affairs, Malaysia is
still a very beautiful country, blessed with rich natural
resources and some of the oldest rainforests in the world
and we should celebrate that instead. So this Malaysia
Day, take the time to appreciate all the good things this
country has to offer. Little did you realise that it begins
at home – with colours and symbols that represent the
country through your home décor. Here’s a look at
how you can display your national pride in style in your
dwelling space.
