KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is calling on all Malaysians to fly the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with the national month to demonstrate their loyalty and love for the country, as well as to embrace the spirit of independence.
He also urges the public to celebrate the national month and show that they are a generation that understands the struggles of previous generations in attaining the nation’s independence.
“I propose that from now until Independence Day on August 31 and subsequently Malaysia Day on September 16, we should proudly hoist the Jalur Gemilang on every vehicle, in every office, at homes, or wherever, to show that Malaysia now rises as a united nation, with aspirations and ideals to embrace the spirit of independence.”
Anwar said this in a special video message for the 2023 National Day celebration produced by Radio Televisyen Malaysia.
Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan is the chosen theme for this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.
The National Day celebration will be held on August 31 at Dataran Putrajaya, while the Malaysia Day celebration on September 16 is slated to be held in Kuching, Sarawak. – August 22, 2023
