Jalur Gemilang: Don't take the law into your own hands
KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been urged not to take the law into their own hands or engage in unlawful acts against anyone committing offences related to the Jalur Gemilang flag, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said that all matters involving investigations, prosecutions, and court decisions must be left entirely to the authorities, following a reminder issued by the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) yesterday. "Do not act as the police, lawyers, or judge. It is wrong. Leave it to the police to investigate, the A-GC to prosecute, and the courts to decide," he said after launching the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya-level National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Flag 2025 campaign at Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Bahasa Melayu today. The launch was also attended by Communications Ministry deputy secretary-general (strategic communications and creative industry) Nik Kamaruzaman Nik Husin; Information Department director-general Julina Johan; and IPG Kampus Bahasa Melayu director Dr Masitah Mohammad Yusof. Fahmi said that some people had been called in by the police following a rally held to "teach" certain parties a lesson, but further action would be handled solely by the authorities. He said Malaysians should address issues related to the Jalur Gemilang respectfully and constructively. "As Malaysians, we can also play our part. If we see a Jalur Gemilang that has fallen, we should raise it. If it is faded, replace it with a new one. If it is improperly flown, correct it ourselves. Let us not sneer, curse, or act uncivilly. We must demonstrate our patriotic spirit during the national month while reminding one another of proper conduct," he added. Fahmi said that the programme included the Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya-level Merdeka Jalur Gemilang Convoy, comprising 73 vehicles from the Communications Ministry's departments and agencies, the police, Fire and Rescue Department, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN), National Security Council (MKN), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Suzuki V-Strom Malaysia motorsports club, Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), and the Lembah Pantai Madani Community. Additional side events included the Safe Internet campaign, aimed at raising awareness of ethical online practices among teacher training institute students. Jalur Gemilang kits were also distributed to IPG senior management and representatives of 12 Madani communities in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya as part of the "1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang" initiative. - Bernama

PDRM remains committed to protecting the nation
PUTRAJAYA: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will remain committed to defending the nation's security, even without recognition or praise, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain. He said the police force is always prepared to set aside personal interests and willing to put their lives on the line to safeguard the nation's security and the people's well-being. 'All the services we render are rooted in sincerity, integrity, loyalty and the belief that every sacrifice will eventually be rewarded,' he said at the Putrajaya-level campaign's launch to promote reading and book handover, here today. His speech text was read out by Bukit Aman Management Department director Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid. Razarudin said PDRM, in its 218th year since its establishment, remains steadfast in fulfilling its role as the country's primary law enforcement agency. During the ceremony, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National Book Development Foundation Prof. Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Abu Bakar, presented PDRM with a special book as a symbol of appreciation for its personnel. The book compiles stories and photographs capturing the sacrifices of PDRM personnel, which can be a source of inspiration and reference for the public, particularly the younger generation. Razarudin said the book highlights narratives about unsung heroes, which could instil a spirit of patriotism and bolster people's identity. He urged the public to read such books to understand the challenges behind the struggle to uphold the nation's peace and independence. 'Reading is a bridge to knowledge. Through reading, today's youth will better understand the struggles and challenges faced by the nation's heroes in the fight for independence and maintaining harmony,' he added.
