It’s almost that time of the year again, that time when we come together as one bangsa and to celebrate our country’s National Day. Come 31^st August this year, our beautiful country turns 61. The number may seem ordinary, but 61 years of independence from British rule sounds like something worth celebrating, wouldn’t you say?

This year, as a show of how special this occasion is, Boost Juice Malaysia has organised the #SayaBangaMalaysia photo challenge where participants submit their best photo showcasing items that are uniquely Malaysian. The response was overwhelming, and we thought we’d share some of the best submissions so far with you… you know, to get you into the celebration spirit! Feast your eyes!

Our national flower (aka hibiscus flower or bunga raya)!
