People in the old days and those in the older generation believes that for all acts that should be done, the 7th is most sacred.
As xlutfix had mentioned (as being 'magical'), it is considered a special number for various reasons; 7 wonders of the world, 7 levels of heaven/7th heaven, 7 Generations, 7 colors of the rainbow, royalty (often being associated with the number 7) , Lord Vishnu appeared as a 'complete' human being as Lord Rama in his 7th avatar incarnation, of the 32 planes of existence in the Buddhist cosmology, Lord Indra/Sakka resides in the 7th level of celestial plane and so on... Indeed, the number 7 has a very special meaning in the occult world.
Perhaps, the hailing of Merdeka for 7 times was considered as 'Laungan Keramat' as it was one of the most important event in the Malayan history, for winning independence by the people of that day.
Hope I could give an alternative point of view towards this... as I have to look into certain things that needs to correlate to the beliefs and culture of the people who lived during the time of the late Tunku.

honestly i do not know why 7 times.
i think 3 times is too short as 7 times are longer and meaningful and people are really enjoy themselves (1957) celebrating independence from British.
