EVERY August, a grandfather at Felda Kota Gelanggi Dua in Pahang will add “vroom” to the patriotic spirit by going around his neighbourhood on his vintage Vespa decorated with the national flag.

Rosman Marman, 71, aka Wak Rosman, said he always felt the excitement in August when he raised the Jalur Gemilang to welcome the National Day month, Mingguan Malaysia reported.
