My Merdeka

Move8 Walk for Merdeka

Hi fellow Malaysian and friends of Malaysia,

You are invited to Stadium Merdeka on the 16th of August at the original location where “Merdeka!” was declared. We will walk 11,000 steps around the stadium, making 20 rounds around the iconic UNESCO-heritage listed stadium athletic track (each round is 400m) in the hope to collectively walk 1 million steps in the spirit of celebrating Malaysia’s 68th Independence Day. Drop by anytime between 9am-6pm.

Our film crew will be around to capture Vox Pops (voice of the public), so if you have a story to share, look out for them as we’d love to hear what Merdeka means to you (Letter of Invitation – What Merdeka Means to Me Vox Pops 16 Aug 2025).

You can also record your own story and share it with a hashtag #mymerdeka #stadiummerdeka #move8.

Selamat Hari Merdeka ke-68 🙏
