Merdeka Jalur Gemilang Convoy 2025 to cover 2,500km across Sabah
KOTA KINABALU (July 22): The Konvoi Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) 2025 will traverse 2,500 kilometers, stopping at 75 locations across Sabah over 20 days from August 5 to 23.
Sabah Information Director Jainisah Mohd Noor stated that the launch of KMJG 2025, organized by the Sabah Department of Information (JAPEN), will be officiated by the Sabah Chief Minister.
The convoy aims to engage communities directly in this year's National Day and Sabah Day celebrations.
'The KMJG 2025 launch will take place on Friday, August 1 2, starting at 7:30am at the Kota Kinabalu Community Hall. Twenty vehicles and 60 participants from various departments and strategic partner agencies will join the convoy,' she said after an interview session for the 'Kami Bah Ini' (KBI) program at RTM TV Studio on Monday.
'This year's convoy emphasizes the special theme 'Malaysia MADANI: Caring for the People,' with program content focused on serving communities through direct agency services, community activities, skills workshops, and strategic multi-stakeholder involvement. KMJG 2025 features engaging activities such as the People's Feast, MADANI Spirit, Info Busking, National Day Mural Painting, Wayang Pacak (street screenings), and skills workshops – all highlighting inclusivity and public participation,' she added.
Jainisah also announced that convoy participants will continue the '1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang' (1 House 1 Malaysian Flag) initiative, encouraging all citizens to fly the national flag at homes, offices, government buildings, private vehicles, and government premises. The initiative targets seven key clusters: education, higher education, health, security, community, industry, and government agencies.
'It is hoped that local communities will respond to this call by hoisting the Jalur Gemilang as a symbol of patriotic spirit and love for the country,' she explained.
The public can obtain further details about KMJG 2025 through official channels, including the portal www.merdeka360.my, live Facebook and TikTok broadcasts, and media coverage by RTM, Bernama, and other local outlets.
JAPEN Sabah will also provide daily live updates on social media.
Jainisah expressed hope that Sabahans would jointly ignite the spirit of patriotism by flying the Jalur Gemilang and participating in KMJG 2025 activities.
Meanwhile, Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Sri Dr Sabin Samitah said the number of contingents for the National Day parade will be limited to prevent it from taking too long.
'Last year, it was observed that several contingents represented similar activities or groups, leading to some public complaints as they were not pleased with that situation,' he explained in an interview by SabahVFM.

Madani Community Service Strengthens Human Values, Fosters Spirit Of Volunteerism
MUAR, July 26 (Bernama) -- The MADANI Community Service programme serves to strengthen human values and foster the spirit of volunteerism and social service among the community. Deputy Minister of Communications Teo Nie Ching said the programme places emphasis on efforts to improve community well-being through the active involvement of the people in various community activities and local development. 'Through the MADANI Community Service, which is driven by the Information Department (JaPen), the community not only receives accurate and authentic information, but is also given the opportunity to play a role as an information agent and effectively convey government policies or initiatives or current issues,' she said at the MADANI Community Service programme at Taman Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah, here today. According to Teo, the programme, which was also a pocket programme held in conjunction with the launch of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign in Bandar Maharani, had gathered more than 700 participants. She said the participation thus gave a positive sign that the community welcomed the volunteerism-based initiative, which was able to move the community to be more aware, caring and united. Teo also called on the public to come and enliven the launch of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Dataran Tanjung Emas tomorrow. 'This launching ceremony aims to further boost the spirit of love for the country and appreciation of the meaning of independence among the people,' she said. Meanwhile, the deputy minister said that the 2025 National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM2025) celebrations, themed Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni, reflect the government's stance, which always puts the people first, treats, listens to and protects the welfare of all levels of society. Apart from gotong royong, the MADANI Community Service activities include a motorcycle oil change programme, free haircuts, e-Sports and asam pedas cooking competitions as well as lucky draws.
