Assalamualaikum everbody!! I hope you guys are doing well =)
My entry for today is about our national flower which we call it "bunga raya". I bet you guys might wondering why we chose ''bunga raya'' as our national flower ''smirk face'' hahaha.
Basically this is bunga raya. isn't it beautiful ?
Now, I would like to share to you guys, why and how bunga raya had been chosen to be our national flower.
At the end of 1958, the Ministry of Agriculture has submitted seven types of flowers to be chosen as the national flower. The flowers were the hibiscus, jasmine, frangipani flowers, lilies, roses and flower cape. To choose flowers which was appointed as the national flower, a study was conducted by the Department of Information for the public reaction. The study was conducted by mobile units of the Information Department of the city and villages in Peninsular Malaysia. The study showed that residents of the East Coast to choose roses and West Coast residents prefer jasmine.
Based on these criteria, on July 28, 1960, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj has been declared as the national flower hibiscus. Today, the choice of hibiscus as the national flower looks so right for what he has five petals symbolize the five principles of the Rukun Negara and the breakdown of this flower is also represented as an interest unity.
