KUALA LUMPUR: The 64th National Day was celebrated in full patriotic spirit, albeit moderately, in keeping with the new normal for the second year running since the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic early last year.

In Putrajaya, the celebration was held at Dataran Pahlawan Negara in a hybrid manner, featuring patriotic elements in the spirit of the Malaysian Family, and in full compliance with the standard operating procedure (SOP).
