Five upright pillars emphasises the importance of adhering to the concept of the national principles, while children of this land navigates the history of Malaya starting with the British occupation, to the Japanese occupation, the return of British power, the emergency period and finally the issues that arise on the journey to independence for multi-racial Malaysia.
