SHAH ALAM, Aug 22 — Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari wants civil servants to raise the Malaysian flag, not because of instruction from their department but instead due to the love they hold for the country.
“The flying of the Jalur Gemilang is more than a departmental order, as it is also a symbol of love for the country,” he said during the launch of the 2023 state-Level Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign at Dewan Jubilee Perak in the State Secretariat Building earlier today.
“When we fly the national flag, we are together displaying a sign of solidarity to create a sense of love for our country and state,” Amirudin said.
Apart from that, the attitude of solidarity also needs to be present in every individual in an effort to create a united society that loves the state and the country.
The Menteri Besar said with such an attitude, a person will be more motivated to do something voluntarily and earnestly in order to advance his beloved country.
During the event, he also handed over flags to all local authorities as well as district and land offices as a symbolic celebration of the 66th Merdeka Day at the end of this month.
