The post, uploaded a few days ago, highlights a touching scene that unfolded as patrons were enjoying their meals when the national anthem, “Negaraku,” began to play in celebration of Malaysia’s 67th Independence Day on 31 August.
In the video, two ladies can be seen contemplating whether to stand up in respect of the national anthem.
Their hesitation is palpable as they glance around, noticing that no one else in the café had made a move.
However, the moment of uncertainty was quickly dispelled when one lady wearing a cream shirt decided to stand up, her quiet act of patriotism inspiring those around her.
What followed was a chain reaction, as more people in the café rose to their feet, united in their respect for Merdeka Day.
This spontaneous show of unity has resonated deeply with netizens, many of whom expressed their pride in the comments.
Dulu pernah tengok wayang dan dia pasang lagu Negaraku. Semua orang berdiri dan menyanyikan dengan penuh semangat. Lepas habis, semua tepuk kat diri sendiri ahahaha comel.

In my experience semalam, masa resort tengah mainkan lagu negaraku sempena hari kebangsaan, kaum cina yg tengah mabuk pon bangun tanda hormat meskipun dia terhuyung hayang. Much respect 🫡
