KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will distribute over 40,000 Jalur Gemilang to enliven this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations in the capital, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) said the flags will be distributed to government agencies, NGOs, residents’ representative councils, residents’ associations and educational institutions.
“This is to encourage Kuala Lumpur residents to fly one Jalur Gemilang at each home to promote a sense of unity during the celebrations. The flags can be obtained at our service centres in each parliamentary constituency,” she said here yesterday, Bernama reported.
