Kampung Bukit Kechik villagers weave 35-metre Jalur Gemilang flag


TANAH MERAH: Villagers of Kampung Bukit Kechik here have decided on a unique way to usher in and celebrate National Day this year by coming together to weave a 35-metre Jalur Gemilang flag using mengkuang or screwpine leaves.

Kampung Bukit Kechik Malaysian Family Community chairman Mohd Nor Hassan, 62, said residents have been weaving since July 28 and added that this year’s National Day celebration would be merrier compared to during the Covid-19 pandemic, when celebrations were muted.
