Wearing Jalur Gemilang Badge Effective In Enhancing Spirit Of Love For Country
KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 (Bernama) -- Students wearing the Jalur Gemilang badge on their uniform will be an effective way to instil a patriotic spirit and cultivate a love for the country from their school days.
Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun said this would be a solid foundation in educating loyal, caring, and proud citizens towards a national identity.
"I feel very proud to see these children wearing the Jalur Gemilang badge with enthusiasm and confidence, We want to raise a generation that always loves, cares, and wants to fight for the country.
"This country belongs to all of us The spirit of togetherness is what needs to be continuously nurtured for a brighter future for Negeri Sembilan and Malaysia," he told reporters at the Aidilfitri Celebrations, organised by the Seremban City Council (MBS) today.
Aminuddin said that by emphasising the symbol or badge of the Jalur Gemilang, the spirit of camaraderie among students can be strengthened, carrying through to their adulthood.
Meanwhile, in Kelantan, schools that are not under the purview of the Ministry of Education (MOE), including those under the Kelantan Islamic Foundation (YIK), are encouraged to implement the wearing of the Jalur Gemilang badge among their students.
State Education Department (JPN) deputy director (School Management Sector) Mat Lazim Mohammad said the department is open to the participation of YIK schools or any other educational institutions interested in implementing this initiative.
"However, its implementation must adhere to the standards or guidelines set in the MOE Circular Letter," he told reporters at the Symbolic Ceremony of the Jalur Gemilang Badge Wearing for Educational Institutions under the MOE at the Kelantan level in Kota Bharu today.
Commenting further, Mat Lazim said that among the procedures for wearing the badge that must be followed are wearing it on the right side of the uniform; aligned with the name tag; wearing it in a neat, clean, and undamaged condition; and it should not be used on inappropriate clothing or arbitrarily.

Malaysia Expresses Deep Concern Over Detention Of Madleen Flotilla Crew
PUTRAJAYA, June 9 (Bernama) -- Malaysia is deeply concerned over the detention of individuals aboard the Madleen flotilla bound for Gaza. In a statement on Monday, the Foreign Ministry, Wisma Putra, stated that the very purpose of this peaceful humanitarian mission was to pave the way for the delivery of critically-needed humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, who continue to be subjected to mass starvation because of the inhumane blockade imposed by the Zionist Israeli regime. 'The interception and harassment of the flotilla's crew exposed a deliberate and ruthless obstruction of humanitarian aid that could potentially bring some relief to the most vulnerable, including children, women, and the elderly.

Japan and South Korea agree to deal with geopolitical crises under three-way cooperation with the US
SEOUL (Bernama-Yonhap): South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba agreed to address geopolitical crises under the framework of trilateral cooperation with the United States in their first phone talks on Monday, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing the presidential office. During the 25-minute conversation, Lee and Ishiba also reaffirmed the importance of bilateral ties between the two neighbours and expressed hope to meet in person at an early date, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung told reporters. "Lee expressed hope that the two countries would work together to explore mutually beneficial approaches to addressing future challenges from the perspective of their shared national interests," Kang said. Lee, who has pursued a "pragmatic" diplomacy, and Ishiba shared a consensus on the need to build a more "solid and mature" bilateral relationship based on "mutual respect, trust and a responsible attitude," Kang said. Recognising the 60th anniversary of the normalisation of diplomatic relations between the two nations later this month, Lee and Ishiba agreed to promote people-to-people exchanges and enhance communication between their governments. A potential venue for their first in-person meeting could be the Group of Seven summit in Canada, scheduled for June 15-17, where Lee has been invited as a guest. Since taking office, Lee has stressed the need for policy coherence in dealing with Japan, signalling his intention to uphold the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration's approach on the wartime forced labour issue, which helped ease strained ties between Seoul and Tokyo. It marks Lee's second call with a foreign leader, following his first conversation with US President Donald Trump on Friday. Lee's office is also arranging a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a senior presidential official. - Bernama-Yonhap

Indonesia's PSI opens doors for former President Jokowi to join their leading ranks
JAKARTA (Bernama): Indonesia's Solidarity Party (PSI) has declared its readiness to welcome former president Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, into its ranks - should he choose to join the party. The party's deputy chairman, Andy Budiman, stated in a statement that PSI considers itself Jokowi's "political home' and is prepared to receive him with open arms. "PSI was founded to support Jokowi's vision and mission for Indonesia's development,' Andy said, stating that all party members continue to champion those goals. The statement came days after Jokowi indicated he favoured joining PSI rather than accepting an offer to become chairman of the Islamic-based United Development Party (PPP). Last Friday, the former president announced at his Surakarta residence that he will not join PPP, saying many candidates are better qualified and possess the capacity and competence to lead the party. Jokowi's connection with PSI is no surprise, as his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, was appointed PSI chairman in September 2023, boosting the party's profile among young urban voters. Though PSI failed to surpass the four per cent parliamentary threshold in the 2024 general election, it won seats in several regional legislatures and remains a key player in Indonesian politics. -- Bernama
