SHAH ALAM – The civil service should fly the Jalur Gemilang not because of directives from the respective departments but driven by love for the country, said Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
“The flying of the Jalur Gemilang is more than a departmental order, as it is also a symbol of love for the country,” he said when speaking in conjunction with the launch of the Selangor 2023 state-level Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign at Dewan Jubilee Perak, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Building here today.
“When we fly the national flag, we are displaying a sign of solidarity to create a sense of love for our country and state.”
Apart from that, he said, the attitude of solidarity needs to be in every individual in an effort to create a united society that loves the state and the country.
Amirudin said with such an attitude, a person will be more motivated to voluntarily and earnestly do something in order to advance the country.
In the event, he also handed over flags to all local authorities as well as district and land offices in the state as a symbolic gesture to mark the 66th Merdeka Day at the end of the month. – August 22, 2023
