Instilling true patriotism and loyalty in our kids

I WELCOME the initiative to require schoolchildren to wear the Jalur Gemilang badge on their uniforms effective April 21 as a display of love for the nation.

This symbolic gesture serves as an important reminder of our national identity and unity (“Jalur Gemilang badges compulsory on school uniforms from April 21, says Education Ministry”, The Star, March 26; online at bit.ly/ 4hUkkxM).
