1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang campaign expands to health sector
Information Department (JAPEN) director-general Julina Johan said the campaign, introduced in 2024, previously covered only five clusters. This year, the health sector has been made one of the main focuses to create a wider impact.
'The campaign launch for the health cluster was recently held at the ministry level, officiated by Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, with Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital (HRC) as the starting location,' she said.
'Insya-Allah, it will continue at Gombak Orang Asli Hospital and the Kuala Lumpur Health Clinic,' she told reporters after officiating the HRC morning assembly, themed 'Kemerdekaan-Malaysia MADANI Rakyat Disantuni: Inspirasi Nyalaan Transformasi,' here today.
Julina said the effort to fly the Jalur Gemilang was not only focused on government premises, but also encouraged at business premises, private homes and within local communities.
'In Kuala Lumpur, we are working closely with Kuala Lumpur City Hall, while in Putrajaya we have the support of Putrajaya Corporation and the government quarters association to promote and mobilise the campaign at the grassroots level.
'The spirit of patriotism must always be present, so let us all Malaysians fly the Jalur Gemilang together,' she said.
At the same time, Julina reminded the public to ensure that the flags they hoist are in good condition and displayed correctly as a sign of respect for the national symbol.
'If the flag is worn out, we encourage it to be replaced with a new one before being flown. We have also published an e-book on proper flag installation, which can be accessed by the media and the public, to address issues such as flags being hung upside down.
'In addition, the public can refer to the complete guide on the procedure for hoisting the Jalur Gemilang on the Ceremonial and International Conference Secretariat Division portal,' she said. - Bernama

Malaysian tourists with burn injuries in Bangkok face long recovery, mounting expenses
The two Malaysians, Gan Xiao Zhen, 27, and her boyfriend Ong Yik Leong, 26, were attacked by an unemployed man who allegedly doused them with thinner before setting them alight near a shopping mall on Ratchadamri Road on Aug 7. 15 Aug 2025 08:52pm The families of two Malaysian tourists set ablaze in Bangkok on Aug 7 fear their medical expenses could exceed insurance coverage. - Photo by Bernama BANGKOK - The families of two Malaysian tourists set ablaze here on Aug 7 fear their medical expenses could exceed insurance coverage. Gan Kin In, 80, said he and his wife, Kek Ley Lan, expressed gratitude to the Malaysian and Thai governments, along with other relevant agencies, for their assistance following the incident involving their daughter and her boyfriend. "We have been in Bangkok for the past week. The Malaysian government, through the Embassy, has given us constant support, while the Thai side, through the Tourist Police and the Tourism and Sports Ministry, has provided transportation and accommodation,' he told Bernama on Friday. The two Malaysians, Gan Xiao Zhen, 27, and her boyfriend Ong Yik Leong, 26, were attacked by an unemployed man who allegedly doused them with thinner before setting them alight near a shopping mall on Ratchadamri Road at about 10 pm on Aug 7. However, Kin In said they were worried about the medical expenses, which had already reached around 150,000 baht after just over a week of treatment at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. He said the Thai government had agreed to provide total compensation of up to 550,000 baht per person. "We are worried that the total amount of compensation may not be enough to cover the total medical costs here, as the charges are quite high,' he said. Kin In, a retiree, added that doctors were not optimistic about allowing the victims to be transferred back to Malaysia anytime soon. "Yesterday, Xiao Zhen had a fever and high blood pressure, but she has recovered today. Her condition is now more stable, and if her health permits, doctors will carry out minor skin operations in phases,' he said. In the latest update on Xiao Zhen's condition, Kin In said doctors estimated it would take around two months for her to recover after the skin graft procedures, which would need to be done in stages to minimise pain and discomfort. Meanwhile, Yik Leong, who is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Police General Hospital, is also reported to be in a stable condition and is being cared for by his aunt, Ong Siew Kien. - BERNAMA More Like This
