Episode 1: 26 august 2017
After the first General Elections in 1955, Tunku Abdul Rahman runs out of funds to make a return trip to London to secure the nation’s independence from the British. Rokiah, a laundry lady with a son named Salleh, set up a donation drive, ‘Derma Merdeka’ to help fund Tunku’s trip and gives away several of her personal belongings, including her estranged husband’s ring. When Salleh finds out, he works hard to buy back the only memento left of his father.

When a bundle containing the donations goes missing, the townsfolk – led by the town’s busybody, Ainoon – start blaming the funfair community for the loss. Betty, a former cabaret singer, who has just arrived from Singapore with her son Boon to start a new life in town, finds herself dragged into the townsfolk’s baseless accusation.

As the funfair opens to the public for the first time after moving from the north to Melaka and receives cool response from the townsfolk amid the accusations, the three friends – Salleh, Boon and Devi – put their heads together to solve the mystery of the missing bundle and clear the funfair’s name once and for all. As everyone goes through his or her own journey of self-discovery, the nation celebrates its first-ever Merdeka Day.

Episode 2 : 27 august 2017
In 1969, Salleh sets his sights on a girl named Mariam, whom he met at the funfair. Knowing Boon has feelings for Devi, Salleh makes it a double date as he invites the three of them for a one day trip to the beach where young love blossoms and fails.

Upon their return, a Molotov cocktail explodes near them, launching them into one of the bloodiest events in the nation’s history – the May 13 Riot. They make their way to the hospital as Devi is injured, carefully avoiding the riots as they go, but not before Salleh is shocked to discover Samad, his brother, is part of the riots. He escapes before Salleh can stop him.

In the hospital which is under military lockdown, Devi is treated, and in turn starts helping the hospital staff with the dozens of bloody victims pouring in. Meanwhile, Boon and Salleh are caught by army personnel for trying to escape as Boon is too worried about his mother Betty. Not long after, Devi discovers a familiar looking face among the critically injured patients – it’s Betty. Boon says a painful goodbye to his mother, and she dies.

The next morning, more soldiers arrive at the hospital to evacuate the civilians. Boon and Salleh are separated. The situation slowly gets under control, as Boon grieves for the loss of Betty, while Salleh frantically searches for Samad, not knowing that he was already dead.

Episode 3 : 28 august 2017
Devi is part of the country’s track team who is in the middle of preparing for the 1971 SEAP Games. Her coach wanted her to work as part of a team and compete in the 4 x 100m relay event, but her pride gets the better of her. Things are made worse for Devi as her No. 1 position is threatened by a teammate and she realises that she might be at the end of her career.

For a while, her motives to compete are purely for selfish reasons and not for the country. Devi protests by breaking the rules that cause conflicts between her and her coach, her teammates and her mother.

Meanwhile, Boon gets married to the love of his life, Dianne. At the wedding, Captain Harris hands over the funfair to Boon, much to Salleh’s despair. The failure of taking over the funfair prompts Salleh to rethink his plans for the future, which would prove to be a turning point for him.

Devi finally learns the importance of teamwork and goes on to win the SEAP Games with her teammates, much to the delight of everyone.

Salleh, with the aid of the NEP, ventures into a new business opportunity manufacturing Malaysian-made VCRs, in line with the government’s “Belilah Barangan Buatan Malaysia” campaign. He sells off his land and palm oil estate in Negeri Sembilan to move to KL for this purpose, much to annoyance of his wife. Salleh’s lofty ambitions and endless thirst for success drive a wedge between him and his family, causing them to drift further away from him.

Meanwhile, Boon faces a difficult time at the funfair when a mischievous child falls off the Ferris wheel, causing the funfair to face tremendous loss and dwindling visitors. He does everything he can to keep his funfair, and more importantly, the funfair family, afloat. However, it is not long before Boon realizes the difficult decisions he has to make.

Devi is scared and confused when she wakes up from a week-long coma. When she realizes Suppiah had made a vow to reconcile with his father for her healing, she follows him to fulfill it.

Episode 6 : 31 august2017
Facing a recent injury, 69 year old Salleh is taken in by his son Johan to be looked after. Reluctant to be held down, Salleh joins forces with his old friends, Boon and Devi, and sneaks out of the house to embark on an eventful roadtrip which he promises them will end in a surprise.

Boon is furious to learn that Salleh has dragged them all the way to Johor. An argument erupts in the car that distracts Salleh, causing them to crash. Fortunately unscathed, the trio climb out of the car wreck in the middle of nowhere and stumble upon an inn named Hotel Merdeka. They check in, but before nightfall, they are alerted that the 2014 East Coast flood has reached the hotel.

Boon’s constipation causes the trio to miss the evacuation van, and before long, it dawns on them: they are caught in the massive flood. Salleh, now despondent, reveals that his surprise was that they would see their childhood funfair together again. However, they work together and somehow manage to send a video of themselves to Salleh’s niece Liyana despite the poor phone reception. She uploads it and it goes viral on social media. This alerts a drone operator who locates the trio and informs the authorities for their ultimate rescue.

Later, Boon and Devi drag Salleh atop a hill for their own surprise. To his joy, the duo surprise him with a beautiful view of their childhood funfair. They sit down on a bench to rest. Salleh reminisces all the years of his life and somehow feels more tired than usual. With a smile on his face, his eyes close and his head slowly slumps onto Devi’s shoulder.

Episode 1: 26 august 2017
After the first General Elections in 1955, Tunku Abdul Rahman runs out of ...

Episod 1. Kisah bgmn 3 kanak2 di zaman kemerdekaan yg cuba faham erti merdeka itu sendiri. Kemerdekaan bukan lah subjek utama di sini tapi bgmn kisah2 kehidupan masyarakat diwaktu itu beri reflek kpd erti perjuangan yg sebenarnya.
I love episod 1 as the introduction kpd cerita saleh, boon dan devi. Lakonan mereka sgt2 cemerlang terutama saleh played by haris haziq (pelakon filem redha). He is true actor. Dialog jelas, ada substance, dan cukup emosi. Begitu juga boon dan devi. I also tertarik aziz m osman menumpukan lebih kpd karakter mrk bertiga rather than kisah2 merdeka yg dah klise. And, also i am quite impressed with the setting, bukan senang nak buat period movie mcm ni. Walaupun bukan lah wow sgt, tapi i am fine with it.
Skrip ep 1 ditulis oleh mira mustafa dgn baik sekali. Lebih santai dan simple dan mudah difahami kalau kita menonton seisi keluarga.
Surprisingly, i watched ep 1 with my kids they asked a lot of questions everything from about the life in 50s, the funfair, the merdeka itself. And they love the story too. Rasa patriotik sgt!!!

Yg agak kureng, maybe org putih kat funfair tu knp dia kena pakai baju koboi all the time..?

I recommend all to watch the series sempena nak sambut kemerdekaan yg ke 60 tahun ni. Sebab utk episod 1 ni, sbnrnya bukan lah isu2 berat yg nak diceritakan, tapi lebih kpd prjalanan anak2 merdeka mengharungi fasa kehidupan masing2.
Sinematografi lawa, music scoringnya juga sedap. Tahniah astro!

Tiz Zaqyah dan Remy Ishak Tiada Masalah Bergandingan Dalam Anak Merdeka

Suatu ketika dulu kisah cinta Remy Ishak dan Tiz Zaqyah pernah menjadi bualan. Asmaradana itu dikatakan mekar dek penangan cinta lokasi ketika kedua-duanya membintangi drama fenomena Nur Kasih. Namun adat dalam hubungan percintaan, tak semua yang diharap kekal sampai ke ikatan perkahwinan itu menjadi kenyataan.

Bahkan ketika hikayat cinta mereka terlerai beberapa tahun dulu dan kedua pelakon ini memilih untuk meneruskan kehidupan tanpa terus dibayangi kisah silam, itu tak bererti Remy dan Tiz tidak boleh menjalinkan hubungan profesional atas tunjang seni.

Buktinya mereka pernah bersatu menerusi drama Cinta Jangan Pergi kira-kira pada tahun 2013. Kabir Bhatia juga yang menyatukan mereka seperti mana drama Nur Kasih.

Jalinan itu sekali lagi berterusan kerana Kabir turut mengarahkan satu episod untuk drama bersiri sempena sambutan Hari Kebangsaan berjudul Anak Merdeka. Secara total drama berkenaan diterbitkan sebanyak enam episod.

Baik Tiz dan Remy tiada masalah untuk itu.

Tiz berkata, dia hanya tahu bakal digandingkan dengan Remy ketika sesi bacaan skrip, namun tidak mempunyai masalah untuk berlakon bersama-sama atas paksi profesional.

"Soal dan cerita lama sudah dibuang ke tepi. Baik saya dan dia bersikap profesional ketika di lokasi penggambaran. Mungkin bagi sesetengah pelakon, sukar untuk kembali berlakon dengan bekas kekasih tetapi tidak bagi saya.

"Selama tiga bulan berlakon dengan Remy, kami seperti biasa menjalankan tanggungjawab sebagai rakan sekerja dengan baik. Kematangan mengajar saya supaya tidak bermusuh dengan sesiapa dan tidak mengungkit perkara lalu.

"Di tambah dengan cerita Anak Merdeka sebagai naskhah berkualiti dan peluang beraksi dalam produksi berlatarkan kisah patriotik tidak selalu datang. Jadi kenapa perlu saya tolak tawaran ini. Peluang menjayakan projek besar ini saya anggap sebagai penghormatan," katanya.

Drama enam episod itu diterbitkan Angsana Production. Tiz dan Remy menjadi pasangan suami isteri dalam drama berkenaan.

Akui Tiz, tidak sukar mencipta ‘kimia’ dengan aktor yang kini berimej berjambang itu memandangkan kedua-dua mereka tebal dengan pengalaman.

"Ia jadi mudah kerana saya sudah memahami cara kerja Remy. Begitulah sebaliknya. Tambahan pula, Kabir ada terbabit sebagai pengarah dalam satu episod, membuatkan saya teruja kerana ini seperti pertemuan semula tenaga produksi Nur Kasih.

"Kami sudah lama bekerja dalam bidang ini dan tahu cara untuk beraksi setiap kali berdepan dengan kamera. Alhamdulillah, tidak ada apa-apa isu yang timbul dan Remy juga memberikan kerjasama yang baik," katanya.

Sementara itu, Remy juga tiada masalah untuk bergandingan dengan Tiz.

Selain Tiz dan Remy, drama itu turut menampilkan Thanuja Ananthan dan Elvis Chan sebagai pelakon utama.

“Saya okey. Kami okey,” kata Remy ringkas.

Meninggalkan cerita drama berkenaan, Remy turut diajukan hal mengenai kisah peribadinya dengan cinta hati, Ezza Yusof.

Mereka dikatakan bertunang di Pahang, April lalu.

Namun, Remy memberitahu dia enggan terburu-buru dalam soal berkahwin kerana perlu mengukuhkan pelbagai aspek sebelum memikul tanggungjawab sebagai suami.

“Belum ada tarikh lagi untuk mendirikan rumah tangga. Tetapi jika ada rezeki, pastinya saya akan berkongsi kepada umum tentang hal ini. Memang saya dan tunang ada merancang, namun banyak perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan dulu.

"Kalau ikut hati, semestinya saya ingin berkahwin secepat mungkin. Namun saya tak boleh terburu-buru kerana rasanya, diri ini belum sempurna untuk bergelar suami. Banyak lagi aspek perlu saya kukuhkan termasuk soal kewangan.

“Doa yang baik-baik untuk saya dan tunang. Ada jodoh kami dan tiba masanya pasti akan ada kenyataan rasmi.”

Remy kini juga sedang rancak menjalani penggambaran siri mini, Do[s]a. Selain Remy, siri kolaborasi produksi Malaysia dan Indonesia itu turut menampilkan Datuk M Nasir, Ashraf Sinclair dan Hisyam Hamid.

Dia juga menanti tayangan filem Kau Takdirku, di samping Ezzaty Abdullah dan Bront Palarae bermula 7 September ini.
