Witnessed by picnickers who craned their necks upwards, the base jumpers carried out their mission to carry the Putrajaya jubilee flag with them as they parachuted towards a target on the ground.

Bearing the flag was special officer to Putrajaya Corporation (PPJ) president Adi Khirman Marji, 38, who, after a safe landing, handed the flag to his boss.
