KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal by Perikatan Nasional (PN) Youth leader Ahmad Fadhli Shaari on the use of different themes and logos for the National Day celebration in the four PN-ruled states is seen as betraying the principles of federalism practised in the country.
Mujibu Abd Muis, Fellow at the Institution of Malay Rulers Chair, said the move could strain the relationship between the federal and state governments concerned, considering that the National Day celebration is a national event and is celebrated to commemorate the struggle for the country’s independence.
