Penang to follow national Merdeka Day theme


GEORGE TOWN: Penang will not be using the "Bersih, Cekap dan Amanah" (Clean, Efficient and Trustworthy) theme for its state-level Merdeka celebrations and will follow the slogan used nationwide instead, said Lim Guan Eng (pic).

The Penang Chief Minister said on Monday that the decision was made following a state exco meeting, where the use was reconsidered due to the withdrawal of the Armed Forces from the celebration.
