Putrajaya launches ‘Bersama Malaysiaku' photo campaign
Senior Press Secretary to the Prime Minister Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said the campaign reflected the government's appreciation of the rakyat who have been steadfast in the country's progress.
'This nation was built by its people. From padi fields to skyscrapers, national development has come from the hands of Malaysians who serve in extraordinary ways.
'It is sacrifices like these that elevate the nation's dignity,' he said during a briefing on the Prime Minister's Facebook page yesterday.
Running until Sept 30, Tunku Nashrul said the campaign invites Malaysians from all walks of life to share photographs capturing their everyday acts of service.
These images, collectively titled 'Wajah Malaysia', will be curated to reflect the country's rich socio-economic and cultural fabric, he added.
The public can participate by uploading their photos at the official campaign website bersamamalaysiaku.malaysiamadani.gov.my.
Selected images will be featured across the Prime Minister's social media platforms, government agency channels, national television and digital billboards as a visual reminder that independence was not merely a historical milestone, but a collective journey driven by every citizen.
Tunku Nashrul said the campaign complemented the aspirations of the 13th Malaysia Plan, which will be tabled by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament on July 31.
'The plan is centred on compassion and justice, a vision of nation-building that recognises every contribution, no matter how small, as vital to Malaysia Madani.
'Let us mark this National Month with a photograph that speaks a thousand words for the nation we love,' he said.

Malaysia to roll out regulatory reforms, other measures following US tariff deal
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will roll out three key follow-up actions — an exporter outreach programme, regulatory reform and a nationwide supply chain mapping initiative — following the recent tariff renegotiation agreement with the United States which reduced tariffs on Malaysian goods from 25 per cent to 19 per cent. Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the agreement, effective Aug 1, was achieved after "months of intense but thorough as well as methodical negotiations". "Most importantly, we achieved this without conceding on our red lines in key areas," he said in his keynote address at The Edge Malaysia Centurion Club Awards 2025 here today. Tengku Zafrul said those red lines included foreign equity limits in strategic sectors, legal safeguards in digital companies, halal standards and many other areas. But the key point, he added, is that the negotiation package was a all-of-nation offer, not just the government, but all (Malaysians and Malaysian companies). With the tariff deal in effect, Tengku Zafrul said the government is focusing on three key areas, starting with an outreach programme to support industry players and exporters. "Some of you in this room may be impacted, but again we will engage the whole exporters' ecosystem — not just the multinationals, but all the small and medium enterprises that are supporting the major exporters," he said. Secondly, he said the government aims to accelerate industrial reforms by cutting bureaucracy and reviewing regulations to eliminate overlaps, outdated provisions and irrelevant processes. "Thirdly, we need to strengthen the resilience of our supply chain by fortifying specific industries' role in the global supply chain," he said. Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia is making good progress on a supply chain mapping project, which aims to identify every player involved in the economic activities of key industrial sectors. Meanwhile, he said Malaysia's mid-cap companies — defined as listed companies with a market capitalisation of between RM100 million and RM1 billion — remain critical to the country's growth ambition under the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030. "For me and for our ministry, we view this award such as Centurion as one of the private sector's contributions to Malaysia's journey towards becoming a high-income, sustainable and globally competitive nation. "As of March 31, there are 519 such Centurions. And this speaks volumes about the vibrancy of Malaysia's mid-cap sector — a sector that is equally critical to our national economic aspirations," he said.

Preserve national unity and peace for independence, urges Ewon
PENAMPANG: Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick has called on Malaysians, particularly in Sabah, to uphold the true meaning of independence by preserving unity, well-being, and peace. He emphasised that harmony and stability are crucial for sustainable national development and sovereignty. 'This all starts with cooperation, unity, and harmony because if the people are at odds with one another, unable to cooperate or be in harmony, how can national sovereignty be defended?' Ewon said after launching the Sabah Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang 2025 convoy. The event, organised by the Sabah Information Department, involves 20 vehicles and 60 participants covering 2,500 kilometres across 75 locations in 20 days. The convoy began in Penampang and will conclude in Tuaran on Aug 23. Ewon encouraged Sabahans to join the 'One House, One Jalur Gemilang' initiative by displaying the national flag at their homes. He also highlighted the relevance of this year's National Day theme, 'Malaysia MADANI, Rakyat Disantuni,' aligning it with the 13th Malaysia Plan's goals of uplifting the people's dignity. 'I hope this theme reaches the grassroots. I am confident that the people understand what the government is doing, which is not only to care for them but also to champion and uplift their dignity,' he said. - Bernama

Harping on flag gaffes only brings more conflicts
DAP Youth chief Woo Kah Leong has reminded Malaysians that politicising issues related to the national flag will not bring the nation forward, and could only further fuel unnecessary conflicts. Woo, who is also Pasir Bedamar assemblyperson, criticised the 'village champion' (jaguh kampung) mentality and hypocrisy of politicians who did not scrutinise or express similar outrage over previous incidents where the national flag had also been depicted inaccurately.
