Sabah interior schools urged to fly the Jalur Gemilang

BEAUFORT: A Sabah leader has urged schools in the interior to fly the Malaysian flag, Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with Merdeka month.

Tourism, Culture and Environment assistant minister Datuk Kamarlin Ombi noted that there were no signs of the flags being gaily flown at the schools concerned to mark Merdeka.

“The school is where you can inculcate the spirit of patriotism among children. We want the students to know that the Jalur Gemilang is the pride of the nation,” he told reporters after flagging off the Merdeka convoy at Weston town here today.

Kamarlin who is also Lumadan assemblyman said grassroots leaders should do the same as a reflection of their patriotism, for the community to emulate. -Bernama
