SEREMBAN: Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil called on all parties to rekindle the spirit of patriotism by flying the Jalur Gemilang.
“With the conclusion of the six-state elections last Saturday and the time for politics is over,” he said, calling on all parties to get back together to move forward as a nation.
He said the spirit of patriotism and love for the country should not arise only during the National Month celebration and Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign.
“I hope more people will fly the Jalur Gemilang… earlier the parties were busy hoisting their respective flags, let us now fly and display the Malaysian flag,” he said at the launch of the Semarak Gemilang Malaysia MADANI OHMYDIN! Meriah Bersama programme held in conjunction with the National Month and Mydin’s 66th anniversary celebrations here.
Also present was Mydin Mohamed Holdings Berhad managing director, Datuk Dr Ameer Ali Mydin.
Fahmi emphasised the importance of instilling the love for the nation in Malaysians of all ages, particularly the youngsters who will be the country’s future leaders.
Furthermore, he urged all parties, including the public sector, to collaborate with the government in implementing programmes that promote a sense of love for the country and foster the spirit of Malaysia Madani among the people.
Fahmi also highlighted the need to expand opportunities for strategic partnerships and explore diverse programmes and approaches in the future. He emphasised the need to enhance efforts to enliven the National Month celebration at shopping malls.
“All parties should realise that aside from instilling love for the country through leisure activities, the programmes we implement can also generate income and contribute to economic growth,” he said.
Additionally, Fahmi announced that his ministry will soon unveil good news for media practitioners registered with the Department of Information. He noted that previously, the Rahmah Postpaid Incentive was only available to civil servants, but the initiative will soon be extended to media practitioners.
During the event, Ameer announced a special discount for approximately 12,000 media practitioners with a media certification card, as a token of recognition for their significant contributions to the country. Details about the special offer will be announced on Mydin Malaysia’s official social media sites soon.- Bernama
