KUALA LUMPUR: The “1 Rumah 1 Jalur Gemilang” (1 House 1 Flag) initiative is expected to gain momentum in the final week leading up to National Day on Aug 31, says Fahmi Fadzil.

“I believe that in the next week or two, the activity of flying the Jalur Gemilang at (people’s) homes will become even more vigorous, especially as Aug 31 approaches.“Thankfully, we are seeing more and more buildings displaying the Jalur Gemilang. We hope the 1 Rumah 1 Jalur Gemilang programme will achieve its objective,” he told reporters after distributing the Jalur Gemilang at the Kerinchi People’s Housing Project (PPR) morning market here yesterday, Bernama reported.Fahmi, who is also Lembah Pantai MP, said the flag distribution aims to ignite the patriotic spirit among residents ahead of National Day and Malaysia Day.
