déclaration d'indépendance

i'm borrowing this from my brother as he greets the Republic:

Selamat hari merdeka negeriku...
semoga rakyatmu masih ingat akan arti kemerdekaan dan perjuangan untuk mendapatkanmu...

translation:
happy independence day to my beloved country...
may your people still remember the meaning of independence and the fight to accrue one...
