Decorate All Premises With Jalur Gemilang To Showcase Love, Patriotism For Country - Pahang MB

ROMPIN, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- People are urged to decorate their premises and homes with the Jalur Gemilang and the Pahang state flag as a symbol of patriotism and love for the country, said Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.

He said this is because the flags and the Jalur Gemilang are not just coloured cloths, but pieces of history, with each colour, stripe, and star carrying a meaning that binds the hearts of Malaysians.

"I urge everyone, let's fly the Jalur Gemilang at every house, school, office, shop, and on main roads. Let the Jalur Gemilang and the Pahang flag fly proudly, waving from the end of Kampung Raja Cameron Highlands to Pulau Tioman, conveying our message of love for the homeland," he said.

He was speaking at the National Month and Flying of the Jalur Gemilang 2025 launching ceremony at the Pahang level in Dataran Muadzam Shah here today.

Wan Rosdy said the National Day celebration, which carries the theme "Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni" (Malaysia MADANI: People are Cared For), does not only sound beautiful but is also deep in meaning.

He said the theme brings us back to the fundamentals, which is building a nation that cares for its people with love, respects differences, and upholds noble values in its administration.

Meanwhile, he said this historic month should be used to enliven the National Day celebration with constructive programs, not those that incite emotions.

He also reminded that true independence is not just freedom from foreign colonisation, but also freedom from mental colonisation, freedom from hatred, envy, and division.

"We also use this opportunity to convey the spirit of independence to our children and the younger generation," said Wan Rosdy.
