The force behind National Month celebrations 


Leading the charge: The Pentarama team performing during the launch of National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign at Cyberjaya in 2024. The Department of Information Malaysia ensures the smooth running of National Month celebrations every year.

WHEN National Day and Malaysia Day draw near, a profound sense of unity and pride envelops the nation. Stirring melodies of patriotic anthems fill the air, the Jalur Gemilang soars majestically throughout the land, and Malaysians from every creed, culture and corner unite to honour the most defining moments in our nation’s historical tapestry.

For many, the joy of these festivities is seen in the vibrant gatherings at event venues or through live broadcasts on television and social media. The meticulous parades, captivating performances and seamless orchestration of each moment create an impression of effortless ease.
