'Malaysia Prihatin' in line with govt's aspirations

"Malaysia Prihatin" (Malaysia cares), the theme for the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations this year, is in line with the government’s aspirations that all Malaysians work together to fight the common enemy today which is the Covid-19 pandemic, said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said the "prihatin" refers to the government’s stimulus initiative which encompasses economics, welfare and sustainability of the people.

Muhyiddin (above) added the spirit of "Malaysia Prihatin" was shown not just by frontliners, but also by people from all walks of life who were the unsung heroes.

“They came forward to provide assistance and support, regardless of race, religion and political beliefs.

“This is a good indicator which proves that the people can be united in bad times, what more in good times,” he said at the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2020 campaign at Dataran Perdana, Putrajaya today.

Muhyiddin said the spirit must be spread to all levels of society, not just in the effort to end the Covid-19 pandemic, but also to revive the economy and improve the lives of the people.

“We must implant 'Malaysia Prihatin' in our minds so that we will return to the basics of unity, harmony and well-being of the people of Malaysia.

"We must do it together and with full determination and effort,” he added.

At the launch, the theme song of the 2020 National Day and Malaysia Day Kita celebrations, "Malaysia Prihatin", was heard for the first time, sung by the Pentarama choir group, while the Jalur Gemilang was hoisted.
