Komuniti MADANI Rolls Out Programmes Since July To Foster Patriotism, Unity - Melaka Exco

ALOR GAJAH, July 31 (Bernama) -- A series of programmes aimed at fostering patriotism and unity in conjunction with this year’s National Month have been actively rolled out by the Komuniti MADANI members across Melaka since mid-July.

State Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Communications Committee chairman Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan said the initiatives involve participation from all levels of society, including school students and state constituencies.

“In Melaka, we have members of 84 Komuniti MADANI who have been actively organising various programmes and activities to enliven the National Day celebrations. These initiatives are supported through allocations channelled by the Information Department and the Ministry of Communications, “ he said.

He added that the programmes include a variety of activities such as debates, independence-themed storytelling sessions, and the Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) 2025.

“The implementation of these programmes has also been extended to government departments and private agencies in the state to encourage broader community participation in the National Month celebrations,” he said during the flag-off ceremony of the 2025 KMJG, marking its journey from Melaka to Negeri Sembilan, held here today.

He added that business premises and private shops are also encouraged to display the Jalur Gemilang as a show of patriotism and to help enliven the spirit of the National Month celebrations.

Fairul Nizam also emphasised that the initiative to fly the Jalur Gemilang, whether at government offices, private premises, or residential homes, must adhere to proper flag display etiquette.

He stressed that the national flag must be displayed in a clean and respectful condition, not worn, torn, or flown upside down, as had occurred in previous instances.

“Proper and dignified display of the Jalur Gemilang is important. It is not just our national flag; it is a symbol of our respect and love for the country.

Earlier, Fairul Nizam said the 2025 KMJG convoy continued its journey from the Rembia Japerun Office to its third stop, Negeri Sembilan.

Leading a convoy of over 50 vehicles, including high-powered motorcycles, with participants from various government departments and agencies, he said the group would stop at the Rembau Museum before continuing to several other locations in the state.
