IPOH: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim believes that flying the Jalur Gemilang is a means to promote unity.
During the National Month and Fly Jalur Gemilang 2023 celebrations at the Sultan Azlan Shah Roundabout in Meru Raya, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof read out Anwar’s speech where he emphasized the importance of displaying the flag as a show of love for the country and to foster a sense of togetherness.

“We must nurture and preserve this unity to ensure the continual defense of Malaysia’s independence,” he added.
The Jalur Gemilang will be prominently displayed throughout the National Month.
