KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- The Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) 2025 convoy for the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya (WPKLP) successfully concluded its expedition across three parliamentary constituencies in the federal capital today, garnering strong support from the public.
Department of Information (JAPEN) WPKLP Director Associate, Lt Col (PA) Sabarudin Yeop Hamzah, said the convoy's journey from Wangsa Maju to Cheras and Lembah Pantai received a positive response, as people not only turned up to show support but also enthusiastically received the Jalur Gemilang, demonstrating a strong sense of patriotism.
"From this morning until this evening, we witnessed tremendous public support, which reflects the awareness among Malaysians. What we need to do is further enhance this campaign," he told reporters after the convoy's final stop at McDonald's Pantai Sentral Park, Lembah Pantai, here.
He said some 3,000 Jalur Gemilang of various sizes were distributed throughout the convoy, including to members of the public who stopped by via drive-through at the fast-food outlet, to ignite patriotism and national pride ahead of the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.
Sabarudin added that the convoy's success was made possible through close cooperation between government agencies, non-governmental organisations and the MADANI community, who united to deliver a message of unity.
"The key to the success of today's convoy was strong cooperation, and I believe this collaboration should continue in the future. If we continue working this way, I am confident that future campaigns will be more effective and impactful," he said.
He added that they also witnessed positive reactions from the public, who welcomed the convoy with cheerful faces and provided good feedback regarding efforts to promote patriotism.
The convoy received support from various government agencies and strategic partners, including the National Security Council (MKN), Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM), Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), National Film Development Corporation (FINAS), Road Transport Department (RTD), and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
On Aug 14, Sabarudin received the KMJG 2025 Jalur Gemilang from Pahang Information Department Director Rohani Chik after the completion of the Pahang leg of the expedition, which covered five districts over three days.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 27 launched the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 campaign at Dataran Tanjung Emas, Muar, Johor, before flagging off the KMJG 2025 Convoy, which will tour the entire country with 88 stops, 44 in Peninsular Malaysia, 20 in Sabah, 22 in Sarawak, and two in the Federal Territory of Labuan.
KMJG 2025 is scheduled to conclude on Aug 31 at Dataran Putrajaya, the venue for the 2025 National Day celebration themed Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni, while the Malaysia Day celebration will be held in Penang on Sept 16.
