PUTRAJAYA: As preparations for the National Day Celebrations 2023 go on smoothly and as scheduled, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has urged all state governments to adopt the official theme and logo introduced by the Federal Government.
Fahmi said several menteris besar had expressed their willingness to use the logo and theme at the state-level as well.
"We hope all states will be adopting the same (logo) and the theme as well. The time for politics is over, the state elections are also done.
"Not long ago, we were flying party flags, now we fly the Malaysian flag. This is the aim, our task, which is to close ranks and foster a spirit of unity,” he said at the Communications and Digital Ministry monthly assembly here on Monday (Aug 21).
In May, Fahmi announced ‘Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan, Penuhi Harapan’ (Determination in Unity, Fulfilling Hope) as the theme of the 2023 National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations and the Malaysia Madani emblem as the official logo.
Perikatan Nasional Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari recently said that the four states under the Perikatan administration will use a different National Day logo and theme for state-level celebrations.
He said Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, which are under Perikatan rule, would likely use the alternative logo and theme ‘Teguh Muafakat Malaysia Sejahtera’ (Strong Consensus for a Prosperous Malaysia) launched by PN Youth on Saturday.- Bernama
