KUALA LUMPUR: The Rukun Negara that was instituted 50 years ago as the basis of national unity is not merely to be upheld symbolically each time the pledge is recited on National Day.

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdulllah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah said that instead, the soul and spirit of the Rukun Negara should be appreciated and practised in all aspects of daily life.
