♟️ SMA Awareness Month x Bulan Kemerdekaan 💜💙
August is not only Bulan Kemerdekaan, when Malaysians come together to celebrate freedom, unity, and resilience — it is also SMA Awareness Month, a time to raise our voices for a rare disease that affects countless families with strength and courage.
Just as our nation’s independence was built upon the struggles, sacrifices, and unwavering spirit of our forefathers, families living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) embody that same resilience every single day. They continue to fight for equal access to healthcare, inclusive opportunities, and the right to live with dignity and hope.
✨ This August, as we proudly wave the Jalur Gemilang, let us also raise awareness for SMA. Together, we honor both our nation’s freedom and the freedom of SMA individuals to dream, to thrive, and to be included in every part of society.
💜💙 The spirit of #Merdeka reminds us that independence means more than freedom from colonization — it means freedom from barriers, stigma, and inequality.
Let us unite as Malaysians — for our country, for our people, and for the SMA community.
Because true independence means no one is left behind.
