PUTRAJAYA – Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa today invited Malaysians to organise activities in conjunction with the National Month as a sign of their gratitude and togetherness in line with the Keluarga Malaysia concept.
He said after two years of being plagued by the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysians need to rekindle the spirit of patriotism through the 2022 National Day and Malaysia Day 2022 (HKHM 2022) celebrations.
“This year the country will celebrate HKHM 2022 in an atmosphere where we hope it will be celebrated by Malaysians from all walks of life by flying the Jalur Gemilang and participating in various events.
“Based on the Keluarga Malaysia concept of ‘togetherness, inclusion and gratitude’, this is a sign of our gratitude,” he said when speaking at the launch of the 2022 National Month and the Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign at Dataran Putrajaya, here today.
The ceremony was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who had earlier joined Annuar and other ministers, as well as more than 15,000 participants, in the 2.7-km Berjalan Teguh Bersama programme, which was held in conjunction with the launch of the campaign.
Annuar, who is also chairman of the HKHM 2022 main committee, said he wanted the National Month celebration to be carried out nationwide based on the three core thrusts, which formed the source of a country’s strength.
He also called on Malaysians to pray for Ismail Sabri’s leadership to prosper and for Keluarga Malaysia to continue to live in harmony.
Meanwhile, when met by reporters after the event, Annuar said today’s celebration had long been awaited by the public, and it became more special with the participation of the prime minister and the cabinet members walking together with the public in the Berjalan Teguh Bersama programme.
“This is symbolic of the ‘Teguh Bersama Keluarga Malaysia’ (Keluarga Malaysia – Standing Strong Together), which is also this year’s theme,” he said.
Meanwhile, Annuar said the 2022 National Day celebration at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur, on August 31 would be more lively than those held previously. – Bernama, July 30, 2022
