The end of August is coming, and we all know what that means: it’s almost time to celebrate Merdeka!
With the 64th anniversary of Malaysia’s independence rolling around the corner, this year’s Merdeka Day celebrations will be enjoyed both by Malaysians who are joining in both in-person and online, combining physical with augmented reality (AR) technology.
As we celebrate safely and party big at home, embody this special day by bringing some of that futuristic Merdeka spirit to your own living room and celebrate with the colours of the Jalur Gemilang on Snapchat!
Bring on the Merdeka Party…without the cleanup!
Shower yourself in confetti and party streamers while adorning your living space in Merdeka-style flags, and show your Malaysian spirit while celebrating Malaysia’s independence with the Happy National Day! Lens by Snapchat.

We want to celebrate not only how far we’ve come as Malaysia, but also the talents that have brought us far and beyond.
