Harness National Day spirit to perform better, Anwar says

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called on all Malaysians to harness the spirit demonstrated during the National Day 2024 celebrations to drive self-improvement and enhance performance in all areas.

He said the extraordinary success of the 67th National Day celebrations last Saturday proved that when there is determination, all Malaysians can achieve much more.

“I witnessed the Jalur Gemilang being proudly displayed around the world, and we are thankful for the peace and stability in our country and the increasing (patriotic) spirit among our people.

“This spirit is not always consistently present. While we have celebrated 67 years of independence, not every year has seen the same level of enthusiasm.

“We must harness this spirit to boost our confidence and strive for improvement in all areas,” Anwar said when addressing the Prime Minister’s Department monthly assembly in Putrajaya today.

This year’s National Day was celebrated at Dataran Putrajaya under the theme “Malaysia Madani: Jiwa Merdeka”.

Over 100,000 Malaysians from various races, religions and backgrounds attended the celebration, enjoyed a variety of performances and witnessed the parade of national assets, including defence assets.
