Keep politics away from National Day, says Adam Adli


IPOH: Keep politics away from the Merdeka Day celebrations, says Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Adam Adli Md Halim.

He said that the proposal by Perikatan Nasional Youth leader Ahmad Fadhli Shaari to use different themes and logos for the celebrations in the four Perikatan-ruled states is wrong and should not be done.

"National Day is celebrated by the whole nation. It does not involve political parties or their ideologies," he said at a press conference after opening the Perak Fit Malaysia programme at the state Youth and Sports Complex here on Sunday (Aug 20).

"To me, it is wrong that some parties want a different theme as if there will be separare celebrations. I hope they will not do it. I feel it is a political consideration," he added.

Ahmad Fadhli was reported to have said that Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu could use a different logo and theme that is different from the one announced by the Federal Government for the celebrations.

The Perikatan Youth's logo depicts the hibiscus flower with five petals which is the national flower, taking the colours found in the Jalur Gemilang with the theme of "Teguh Muafakat Malaysia Sejahtera (Strong Consensus for a Prosperous Malaysia).
