A show of military strength greeted Malaysia’s king and onlookers in the administrative capital Putrajaya on Saturday, as the country held a parade celebrating its independence day.
The event draws thousands of spectators from around Malaysia. It also gives the nation a chance to showcase its military prowess.
This year marks the 67th anniversary of Malaysia's independence from Britain.
