As Merdeka and Malaysia Day approach, we ask what it really means to love one’s country, and how that love is shaped, displayed, and sometimes demanded. From flags and anthems to public rituals and policy messaging, we get into the tools used to foster national pride, and the tensions between genuine commitment and performative loyalty.
