BANDAR PERMAISURI (Bernama): As a way of ushering in Malaysia’s 62nd National Day celebrations, a total of 120 scuba divers took part in the Bidong Merdeka Dive 2019 to clean up coral reefs and "fly the ‘Jalur Gemilang’ underwater" to show their love for the country and its natural beauty.
Co-organised by the Terengganu office of the Tourism Arts and Culture Ministry (Motac) and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), the four-day programme, which began on Aug 22 and was themed ‘Dive For Debris’, was initiated in line with the theme of this year’s National Day celebration,"Sayangi Malaysiaku: Malaysia Bersih" (Love My Malaysia, a clean Malaysia).
