Stanza 1

I am old and worn Who is I in this line? – I is a veteran fighter / a war hero / a soldier Why is I tired? – I had fought really hard for his country’s independence. I am old and tired

and have lost all my strength Why is the persona weak? The persona is weak because – he is old and tired – he was badly injured from the war – he became disabled from the war I am weak

sufferings I had suffered a lot of difficulties when I fought for the country’s independence

and the history of the fight for independence have forced sacrifices that know no name or life 1)The persona explains that the war for independence sacrificed many lives. 2)The fight for independence have forced the persona to make sacrifices.  What were the sacrifices that the persona had to make?  The persona had to sacrifice his youth, strength, soul, energy and was separated from his loved ones.

Stanza 2

from the wheelchair of the rest of my days The word ‘wheelchair’ tells us that the persona is weak and crippled. I, body and energy crushed see and cannot do much I am weak and crippled. I do not have energy and strength to contribute to the country as much as I want to.

these times are too big a challenge What kind of challenge did the persona face when he was young? – He had to fight for his country’s freedom from the colonizer like the British, the Japanese army and the Communists. What kind of threats or challenges does our country face today? – Corruption / The abuse of power / Moral decay / Hedonism The persona realises that the threats faced by his country are now a different nature.

for the remnants of my crippled years remnants: bits and pieces of the persona’s life (saki-baki kehidupan persona) my crippled years: the persona is now living as an old and weak person (hari-hari tua persona) The meaning of this line: Even though the persona is worried about the challenges faced by his country, he is too old and weak to do anything.

the net of deceit spread everywhere disturbs me deceit: lie (penipuan) dishonesty (ketidakjujuran) betrayal (pengkhianatan) corruption / abuse of power (salah guna kuasa/rasuah) The meaning of this line: The net of deceit disturbs and worries the persona.

Stanza 3

In the name of justice Wake up and form ranks sons of our ancestors Be brave And erect a wall of people Stand up heirs of our freedom 1.justice: fairness (keadilan) 2.ancestors: forefathers (nenek moyang) 3.heirs of our freedom: the younger generation (anak merdeka) 4.erect - build 5.form ranks / erect a wall of people / stand up the younger generation must unite regardless of their age, gender, race and religion We must be brave to fight for our rights

We must stay unite to protect Malaysia’s freedom! ERECT A WALL OF PEOPLE! STAND UP! FORM RANKS!

Stanza 4

I have no more voice I am old and weak. I do not have the energy to speak. It is you now who should speak! 1.It is now the younger generation’s turn to protect the freedom of their country. 2.The younger generation must speak for their rights.

What can we learn from the poem? We must love our country. We must appreciate the fighters’ sacrifices in achieving independence for our country. We have to respect each other regardless of our age, gender, race and religion. We must stay unite in order to protect the freedom of our country.
