MELAKA, Sept 1 (Bernama) -- About 1,500 people attended the Hang Tuah Jaya parliamentary constituency’s JIWA Komuniti MADANI programme at Dataran Majlis Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah here last night.
The programme, which aims to instil and fuel the spirit of independence in society, involved various activities, including the 'Jiva Merdeka Hang Tuah Jaya fun walk', a talk on anti-terrorism by the Counter Terrorism Division (E8) of the Bukit Aman Special Branch, exhibitions by various agencies, food sales and lucky draws.
Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Adam Adli Halim, when met at the event, said it also aimed to inform the public about the government’s initiatives in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
"One of them is through Rakan Muda involving 10 lifestyles such as Rakan Aktif through the fun run that was organised," he told Bernama.
Meanwhile, he reminded the youth in the country to continue appreciating and preserving the independence that has been enjoyed for the past 67 years, so that this peaceful and prosperous nation could be passed on to future generations.
Thus, he said, they should avoid getting caught up in extremist movements or activities that could undermine the peace and security of the people and the country.
He said one of the activities held during the programme was a talk on extremist movements by the E8 Division of the Bukit Aman Special Branch so that the public is more aware of their activities.
Also present was Melaka Information Department director Ab Rasil Hajatil.
