PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysia Madani Unity Convoy, aimed at enlivening the national month, can foster patriotism among all people, according to National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN) director-general Datuk Che Roslan Che Daud.
He stated that the convoy, consisting of 66 participants to symbolise the country’s 66 years of independence, would distribute the Jalur Gemilang (national flag) and greet the people along the route.
“We will also hand over the national flag to neighbourhood watch areas so that we can fulfil the government’s desire to enliven the national month with the flying of the Jalur Gemilang,” he told reporters at the convoy flagging-off ceremony, Bernama reported.
Che Roslan, who will lead the convoy, shared that various activities have been planned, including the #cakapbaikbaik campaign, the presentation of Rahmah baskets, and gotong-royong (community work).
He also mentioned that the convoy aims to promote a sense of responsibility for national security and appreciation for the country’s prosperity inherited from past leaders.
Thirty riders, including 10 women and 36 secretariat members, will participate in the two-day programme which will begin in Putrajaya, pass through Sepang, Selangor, and Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan, before ending in Alor Gajah, Melaka.
Meanwhile, participant Mastura Mohd Yusoff, 36, expressed that the programme will boost the patriotic spirit among Malaysians, especially the youth.
