1 House 1 Flag Initiative To Be Introduced For National Month

---

 



The Communications Ministry will introduce the “1 Rumah 1 Jalur Gemilang” (1 House 1 Flag) initiative to liven up the National Month celebration in August this year.
Its minister Fahmi Fadzil said flying the national flag should begin at home, as it is a safe haven for families.
This is important because the Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of Malaysia’s independence and unity, flown at every moment of success worldwide, he explained.
“The practice of flying the Jalur Gemilang, especially during the Merdeka month, must be continuously intensified.
“I would also like to remind everyone to ensure that the Jalur Gemilang displayed is in perfect condition - not torn, worn out or faded - as it reflects our image as responsible citizens who love the nation,” he said in his speech when launching the “Ekspresi Bulan Kebangsaan” in Kuala Lumpur today.
Fahmi said the programme, held simultaneously in Penampang, Sabah and Kuching, Sarawak, is to ensure patriotism is inculcated at all levels of society.
Activities lined up
Among the activities lined up are nationhood exhibitions, artistic performances, photo booths, colouring contests, the Ekspresi Merdeka (Merdeka Expression) segment, independence-themed miniature exhibitions, traditional games and traditional costume displays.
To further enliven the National Month celebration, Fahmi said the ministry also produced a compilation of patriotic and unity songs, featuring 22 tracks available for download at no charge on the official Merdeka360 portal.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil“I hope this song compilation can be utilised in schools and Madani communities during National Month and Malaysia Day so we can celebrate in a peaceful, united atmosphere, with a renewed determination to develop the nation,” he added.
Madani Community
Regarding the Madani Community, Fahmi said it serves as frontliners in enhancing public understanding of government initiatives to ensure citizens’ well-being.
This includes the government’s efforts to increase people’s income and address the issues of 3R (race, religion and royalty), defamation and fake news within the country.
“We have planned various programmes for these 1,878 Madani Community units which will be managed by district officers to ensure the government’s message reaches the grassroots level,” he said.
