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.

Zambry urges scholarship providers to diversify student placements beyond US
PUTRAJAYA: Local scholarship providers have been urged to make immediate decisions regarding placing their sponsored students in countries other than the United States (US), following the impact of new tariff policies introduced by the country. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir said Malaysia had many high-achieving students qualified to pursue studies in the world's best universities, not exclusively in the US. "We can no longer be trapped by policies that are too regressive in nature, to the extent of jeopardising opportunities for students from all over the world, including Malaysia, to study. "For me, the best universities are also available in other countries," he said when met at the 'Luncheon Talk With Editors' session in conjunction with the Asean-Malaysia Chairmanship 2025 Programme, organised by the Higher Education Ministry, here today. He was commenting on the impact of new US tariff policies on Malaysian students pursuing studies there. Previously, the Trump administration issued directives to halt the processing of visas for all foreign students and considered measures to screen new applicants based on their social media posts. Mara chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki was reportedly quoted as saying that Mara would stop sending its sponsored students to the US starting this year, following the introduction of President Donald Trump's new policies. – BERNAMA

PM Anwar: Madani govt committed to reforms, but needs time
Anwar said there are those who are impatient and want reforms fast, but they are 'blinded to the facts and reality.' – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (June 10): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says the Madani unity government is deeply committed to tackling corruption and abuse of power but the reforms to combat these menaces will take time to materialise. 'There's no turning back. What I am certain is that every month and every year there must be some progression in addressing these issues,' he said. Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said there are those who are impatient and want reforms fast, but they are 'blinded to the facts and reality.' He said there must be wisdom (hikmah) in the way the Madani government goes about undertaking such reforms. He cited how Pakatan Harapan does not even have a simple majority in Parliament, which is why as a coalition government, 'we have to work together.' 'And we are fortunate, because Umno and Barisan Nasional have now turned to be one of the core pillars committed to this reform and support,' he said in his keynote address at the launch of the Centre of Excellence for Research and Innovation in Islamic Economics (i-RISE) here today. 'But you can't take things for granted, because the process of negotiations, discussions and engagement is important,' he said. He said it is vital to work gradually and get the consensus between the key parties including those from Sabah and Sarawak. He also highlighted that proper governance is essential to ensure economic growth and progress whether a country practices Islamic or conventional banking or both banking systems like in Malaysia. He said that there should be sustainability and clarity in a country's macroeconomic policies and in governance which promotes development but avoids financial leakages and endemic corruption. 'Almost without exception, Muslim countries are not poor, but the poverty is because of the tendency to either condone and use power and privilege to squander wealth,' he said. He also lamented over gender poverty in Muslim countries, but said Malaysia is fortunate as the problem is relatively absent. He said that the Madani unity government remains committed to support studies and research and allow Islamic economics and Islamic instruments to be practiced, supported and expanded. To this end, he called on bankers, academicians, intellectuals, scholars, professionals and Islamic scholars 'not to ignore the importance of what proper and good governance entails' when undertaking reforms in related disciplines. 'Through good governance with clear policies and instruments, institutions must protect the system from excesses,' said Anwar. In this way, the country would grow and possess the capacity to attract foreign direct investments and penetrate new markets as a trading nation. He described the global halal industry as having massive potential of up to US$3 trillion (US$1 = RM4.23), but said this means nothing if 'you don't engage, penetrate and expand into new markets.' On an encouraging note, he said, Malaysia has emerged as a major centre of halal certification envied by other countries wanting to learn and share its expertise, which in the process would help develop linkages with halal ventures globally. – Bernama anwar ibrahim madani government reforms
