KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on Malaysians to show their patriotic spirit by flying the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with the National Day celebrations on Aug 31.
He said raising the Jalur Gemilang is one way of honouring the national symbol.
“That is all I ask — to show that there is significance, a sign that we are all together from all races, all ages, regardless of political party, honouring the Jalur Gemilang. I hope private companies, offices and business centres will continue flying the Jalur Gemilang until Malaysia Day (Sept 16).
“Maintain peace and unity, work together to bring good to the country, and not division and harm. We know from the start of independence and of Malaysia that the foundation is Malay and Bumiputera, but also gives space and rights to the Chinese, Indians and others. Do not dispute that,” he said.
Anwar said this in his speech when opening the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) Section One at the Ampang Toll Plaza here today. – Bernama
