THE Covid-19 pandemic has not dampened the patriotic spirit of Johoreans, as many are continuing the tradition of raising the Jalur Gemilang to celebrate the country’s National Day.

Despite challenges brought on by the pandemic and strict standard operating procedure (SOP), several Rukun Tetangga (RT) committees and residents associations are carrying out competitions to encourage more people to hoist the Malaysia flag and share their National Day stories.
