Govt Agencies, MADANI Communities Must Play Active Role In Flying Jalur Gemilang - JAPEN

KOTA BHARU, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- All federal and state government agencies as well as MADANI communities nationwide have been urged to play a more proactive role in fostering patriotism by flying the Jalur Gemilang at their premises in conjunction with the National Month.

Kelantan Information Department (JAPEN) director Muhd Aswadi Md Nor stated that the active involvement is key to ensuring the message of patriotism reaches the wider public.

“As institutions closely connected to the community, government agencies and neighbourhood associations must set an example to the residents by decorating their buildings or homes with the Jalur Gemilang to manifest unity and love for the country.

“The responsibility of flying the Jalur Gemilang must be shared and embraced by all levels of society,” he told Bernama after the flagging off of the 2025 Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) convoy at Politeknik Kota Bharu today, officiated by National Kenaf and Tobacco Board chairman Datuk Seri Md Alwi Che Ahmad.

The convoy started its journey yesterday from Kolej Komuniti Jeli. It then proceeded to Tanah Merah, Pasir Mas, Kota Bharu, ending the ride in Machang before handing over the Jalur Gemilang to the Terengganu KMJG convoy.

KMJG 2025 is part of the initiative to enliven the National Month and Malaysia Day celebrations, themed Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni, in line with the nation's leadership vision rooted in the values of humanity, social well-being, and justice.
