Sandakan Day Memorial forges understanding and friendship
Sandakan MP Vivian Wong (third right) with the foreign envoys at the Sandakan Day Memorial here today. SANDAKAN (Aug 15): The Sandakan Day Memorial will stand as a living bridge to forge understanding, friendship and trust between Sabah, Australia and Britain, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor. 'As Chief Minister of Sabah, I assure you that this legacy will be preserved, ensuring it is honoured and passed on to future generations,' he said during the Sandakan Day Memorial held at the Sandakan Memorial Park here today. Sandakan member of parliament Vivian Wong delivered his speech. He said this year marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, and yet, for many families, especially those who have journeyed here from Australia, the United Kingdom and beyond, the memories of loved ones lost in Sandakan remain vividly alive. 'Our gathering this morning goes beyond mere remembrance. It's a tribute with purpose. Sandakan isn't just a site of tragedy. It's where the human spirit shone brightly amidst cruelty. 'It is a place where bonds were forged from adversity, where the noble actions of local Sabahans shone alongside the struggles of Allied soldiers. Here and now, we reaffirm our dedication to peace, unity and memory,' he said. The Chief Minister said the Sandakan Death Marches and the horrors of the prisoner-of-war camps have been etched into history, not only because of the atrocities but also due to the moments of shared humanity, such as the quiet acts of kindness and persistent hope of those who clung to the idea of freedom against all odds. 'To the families of the fallen, your presence here means everything. Your loved ones, whether soldiers or Sabahans, who risked everything to save them, are not forgotten. 'We honour their strength, their sacrifice, and their profound humanity. In Sabah, you will always find a sanctuary to remember them. Sandakan is sacred ground for you, too. 'Let us acknowledge the quiet heroes among us, the local Sabahans, whose families also endured loss and violence. Many gave their lives to shelter or assist Allied soldiers. 'Their bravery endures in the stories shared through generations and forms an indelible part of our shared history,' he said. The Chief Minister called upon everyone to pause momentarily and think about the actual cost of conflict and the invaluable treasure of peace. In attendance were British High Commissioner to Malaysia, Ajay Sharma, New Zealand High Commissioner to Malaysia, Michael Wehi Mailetonga Walsh, senior officials from the Australian High Commission and the United States Embassy as well as officials from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment and local authorities.

Jalur Gemilang: A symbol of Malaysia's unity, national pride
PUTRAJAYA: Flying the Jalur Gemilang is more than raising a flag; it embodies Malaysia's soul and spirit, etched in the hearts of every citizen. Information Department (Japen) community relations and development deputy director Hazlianayati Sudin @ Subdin said the Jalur Gemilang, flying proudly in the sky, symbolises the unity of Malaysians across different backgrounds, religions and walks of life. She therefore urged all citizens to take part in the Satu Rumah, Satu Jalur Gemilang initiative to foster patriotism ahead of this year's National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations. "Imagine if every house in Malaysia, from remote villages to high-rise apartments in Kuala Lumpur, flew the flag; the sight of a sea of red, white, blue and yellow would surely fill us all with pride. "This effort is not just about decorating homes but about sincerely instilling a love for the country in the heart, not out of compulsion," she said at a media briefing Thursday (Aug 14) on the procedures for the publication and display of the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with National Day and Malaysia Day 2025 here. Hazlianayati said the Jalur Gemilang also symbolises the nation's sovereignty, freedom and prosperity and should be proudly flown by all citizens. She added that the Satu Rumah, Satu Jalur Gemilang initiative, first introduced by Japen on May 19, 2024, has been expanded to seven clusters this year to foster patriotism and love for the country among the people. She said the seven clusters were education, security, health, government agencies, higher education, community and industry. "It is hoped that this initiative will encourage widespread display of the Jalur Gemilang across homes, government buildings, businesses and public vehicles in celebration of National Day and Malaysia Day," said Hazlianayati. Themed "Malaysia Madani: Rakyat Disantuni", this year's National Day celebration will be held on Aug 31 at Dataran Putrajaya, with Malaysia Day celebrations taking place on Sept 16 in Penang. - Bernama
