Recitation of Rukun Negara pledge well-received, says minister

KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of National Unity has implemented 632 community-related programmes this year with the recitation of the Rukun Negara pledge as the most successful and widely accepted, said its minister, Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.

This, he said, was evident with the Dewan Negara agreeing to implement the recitation of the Rukun Negara pledge on the second day of the first meeting of every Parliament session. He told this to reporters after appearing as a guest at a programme hosted by the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) in conjunction with the upcoming Christmas celebration here on Thursday (Nov 30).
