I Love KL: Since '57

31st August 1957 - the date Malaysians hold close to their hearts, the day where more than 20,000 people at Merdeka Stadium cried tears of joy when our flag was raised to signal the start of a new Malaya. But how was it like on that day and can we relieve those moments? We sit down with one of the three flag-bearers on that fateful day - now 79 year-old Mohd Sharif Kalam, a former navy lieutenant - as he reminisce over that historical moment and the significance of our Jalur Gemilang.
