State leaders: Fly the Jalur Gemilang with pride
Symbol of unity: Hajiji (third from left) and other state leaders flagging off an event during the National Month launch in Kota Kinabalu. KOTA KINABALU: The peace and harmony enjoyed by the people of Sabah need to be treated as the most valuable legacy for future generations, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. In urging all citizens to continue preserving this harmony, he said the unity among the diverse races and religions in the state is key to its strength and prosperity. 'Unity in diversity is Sabah's true strength. It is not a weakness, rather it is a uniqueness that we should be proud of and safeguard,' he said at the launch of the state-level National Month 2025 as well as Sabah Day, which also falls on Aug 31. Hajiji said every individual is responsible in making places like schools, workplaces, business premises, places of worship and digital platforms an avenue to strengthen understanding, rather than sow division. 'Today's launch (of the fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign) is not just a symbolic event, but a call for us to understand the true meaning of independence, which is not just freedom from colonisation, but also from poverty and division,' he said. The National Day and Sabah Day celebration held every August, is a historic moment that reminds the people of their forefathers' struggle in defending the dignity of the nation, said Hajiji. In GEORGE TOWN, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow described Penang as a true reflection of the Malaysia Madani spirit, with its rich diversity of cultures, races and religions living harmoniously in an atmosphere of mutual respect. 'Unity is our strength. It is the foundation of Penang's continued progress, in alignment with the aspirations of the Penang2030 Vision. 'The National Month celebration is a manifestation of our love and affection for our beloved country. It is also a tribute to the sacrifices of past generations who gave everything for the freedom we enjoy today,' he said after launching the state-level National Month celebration and the 'Fly the Jalur Gemilang' campaign. He said Malaysians should reflect on the true significance of the Jalur Gemilang, a symbol of sovereignty, unity and national dignity. 'Raise the Jalur Gemilang with pride and love for the country, for within its colours are enshrined the nation's identity, history of struggle and the undying spirit of independence,' he said.
