TANGKAK, July 24 (Bernama) -- The 2024 Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) is expected to be a platform for the local community to continue appreciating the meaning of independence, as in previous years, said the Johor-level KMJG head secretariat Abdul Rahman Abdul Halim.
He said the state-level KMJG convoy involves 100 participants with 77 vehicles travelling through several districts, ending in Segamat on Saturday (July 27), besides stopping at several locations to participate in programmes hosted by the Information Department.
“The Johor convoy involves the Suzuki V-Storm Owner Club Malaysia, consisting of young and old riders who will make the journey from Tangkak to Muar, Batu Pahat, Pontian, Kulai, Kluang and Segamat,” he told reporters at the ceremony to welcome Melaka convoy at Dataran Tangkak here today.
He said KMJG participants would encourage people to fly the Jalur Gemilang.
The Melaka KMJG convoy handed over the Jalur Gemilang to the Tangkak district officer Mohd Farid Kassim and the Johor Information Department director Saiful Hisham Mansor.
Meanwhile, Suzuki V-Storm Owner Club Malaysia president Mohamad Zaidi Yahya said they aimed to foster a patriotic spirit among riders and strengthen their camaraderie.
The KMJG2024 convoy travelled to Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka before arriving in Johor. It will continue its journey to Terengganu, Perak, Kelantan, Kedah, Penang, and Perlis before ending in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 21.
KMJG 2024, which started last Sunday in conjunction with the Launching Ceremony of the National Month and 2024 Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign, was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to fire up the spirit of patriotism ahead of the National Day and Malaysia Day 2024 celebration.
