'Many of our soldiers shed blood for the country. Some are still alive, proudly wearing medals on their chests and standing tall and full of spirit when the Negaraku song is played. Their faces reflect the deep love they have for the country.
'These are the people who sacrificed for all of us. So, let us not let their struggle be in vain,' he said during the launch of the state-level National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang here today.
He said the government continues to face numerous challenges in ensuring that the people live in peace and harmony, whereby this harmonious atmosphere must always be appreciated by all levels of society.
'Don't take the peace we have for granted. If we were abroad, we might not be able to enjoy the same calm and secure environment. Sarawak is a shining example of how harmony among communities can be preserved,' he said.
Despite heavy rain, the ceremony remained lively, with the flagging off of the Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang (KMJG) convoy and the 2025 MADANI Carnival. being held at the venue.

Short film pays tribute to armed forces veterans for Warriors Day
A screenshot from the 'Grandpa, What's That?' video. IN conjunction with Warrior's Day 2025, the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) unveiled a special short film titled Grandpa, What's That? It's a heartfelt tribute to the courage and sacrifices of Malaysia's national heroes who have selflessly defended the nation's sovereignty and peace. The short film is based on the true story of Col (Rtd) Zulkifli Datuk Tahir, a Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) veteran who lost his right leg after stepping on a landmine, while leading a reconnaissance platoon of the 9th Battalion RAMD during a counter-insurgency operation in Gubir, Kedah, in 1986. His journey is a powerful symbol of unwavering bravery and sacrifice, a legacy that continues to inspire patriotism and love for the country across generations. LTAT chief executive Mohammad Ashraf Md Radzi said Malaysians should not just remember the Warrior's Day, but to truly feel the weight of sacrifice made by the heroes. 'Through this short film, we honour those who walked into danger so the rest of us could walk peacefully into the future. 'Col Zulkifli's story reminds us that behind every uniform, there is a person, a family and a future forever changed. 'At LTAT, our mission goes beyond planning sustainable retirement for the men and women of the Armed Forces. 'It is also about preserving their dignity, honouring their legacy and ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten. 'We hope this video will spark greater awareness, especially among younger Malaysians, about the true meaning of sacrifice, the spirit of patriotism and the importance of planning for the future,' he added. Produced in collaboration with the Malaysian Armed Forces and strategic communications unit of the Defence Ministry, the short film was shot at Akademi Latihan Ketenteraan in Kem Sungai Besi, Selangor. The full video is available on all LTAT social media platforms.

Singapore National Day fireworks: How to manage pets' anxiety over sudden, loud noises
Dogs may be spooked by loud noises caused by fireworks. - Photo: ST SINGAPORE: Fireworks displays are crowd favourites during National Day celebrations, but the loud bangs can be terrifying to pets. The National Day Parade, which includes massive fireworks, will be held at the Padang on Aug 9, but the festivities will continue the next day in the heartland, including a mobile column, fighter jet flypasts, drone shows and, yes, more fireworks. Pet owners need to take precautions as many dogs are sensitive to sudden, loud noises. There had been incidents of dogs getting spooked and bolting from their leash due to panic, says Chong Qi Ai, an animal behaviourist at Pet Coach Singapore. Chong, who holds a master's in animal behaviour and welfare from the University of Edinburgh, adds that while other animals like cats and guinea pigs can also be affected, cases of lost dogs or dogs getting injured due to fireworks displays are more common as they can occur during walks. She shares some ways dog owners can manage their fur kids' fireworks anxiety. 1. Know where the fireworks will be Fireworks will light up the sky at five sites – Bishan, Punggol, Yishun, Geylang and Bukit Gombak. If the locations are near your home, consider taking your dog to the home of a relative or friend in calmer areas. Stay inside and avoid taking your dog outdoors. This approach is called management in dog training – by controlling your dog's environment, you help reduce its stress and lower the risk of panic and escape. 2. Try desensitisation and counter-conditioning While it is difficult to simulate the fireworks display at home, you can prepare your dog in advance. Test its reaction to the sound of fireworks by playing it on a speaker at home. Start at a low volume and play the sound for a few seconds. Pair the sound with a treat, repeat and gradually increase the volume. 3. Consider short-term anti-anxiety medication For dogs with severe noise sensitivity, consult your vet about short-term anti-anxiety medication. This is given some time before the stressful event and its effects typically last a few hours, providing relief during the fireworks display. This form of management uses medication to keep your dog calm before a known trigger, similar to how vets often recommend it before vet visits or travel. Calming supplements may help for milder cases. 4. Create a calm, secure environment at home Keep exit points such as doors and windows closed, draw the curtains and play music or white noise. This can help to muffle the offensive noise and also prevent your dog from escaping if he panics. Make sure hazardous items such as fragile objects are out of reach, so your dog stays safe if it becomes frightened. Always allow your pet to retreat into an enclosed space it may feel safe in and stay with it to offer comfort. You can offer your dog a treat or chew if it is calm enough to eat, to help it feel better as well. 5. Avoid stressful procedures around this time Avoid scheduling stressful procedures like neutering, surgery or dental cleanings. Changes in hormones during neutering can increase fear sensitivity, and the added stress from any procedure may affect your dog's recovery and behaviour. - The Straits Times/ANN

Singapore President Tharman meets migrant workers who saved driver of car that fell into sinkhole
President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and wife Jane Ittogi (centre) taking a group photo with the construction workers involved in the Tanjong Katong sinkhole rescue at the National Day Istana open house on Aug 3. - ST/ANN SINGAPORE: The workers who saved a woman from a sinkhole on Tanjong Katong Road South said they were glad to have helped a family get their loved one home safely. Speaking to the media at the Istana on Aug 3, construction site foreman Pitchai Udaiyappan Subbiah said that the successful rescue of a life was the most rewarding thing from incident. 'Because of us, a family is safe and happy (which) makes us very glad,' Subbiah, 46, said in Tamil. 'The recognition we have gotten is more than enough. Subbiah and six other men had pulled the woman, a driver of a black car that had fallen into the sinkhole, out using a nylon rope. The car the woman was driving had tumbled in at about 5pm on July 26, when a sinkhole formed at the junction of Tanjong Katong Road and Mountbatten Road, near the One Amber condominium. The seven workers were invited by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam to the Istana's National Day open house on Aug 3. Chatting with the workers outside his office, Tharman was overheard saying: 'You saved her life, thank you.' Tharman and Jane Ittogi Shanmugaratnam also met 11 men involved in a rescue during a fire at a River Valley shophouse in April. Using scaffolding from a nearby construction site, the workers had rescued children who were stranded on a third-story ledge due to the blaze. Subbiah was among thousands of people who explored the Istana grounds during the open house to celebrate the nation's 60th birthday. The slight rain in the middle of the day did not stop visitors from strolling the wooded landscape and enjoying its expansive lawns. Among the activities that were on offer were face painting, inclusive sports like seated volleyball, as well as other arts and crafts. There were about 12,000 visitors as of 12pm. Subbiah, who has worked in Singapore for 22 years, said he was happy to explore the Istana as he had, till now, only seen it from the outside. He previously saw Tharman in 2005 at a community event in Teban Gardens, but was happy to meet the President as his invited guest. Another of the seven, excavator operator Sathapillai Rajendran, told reporters he hopes more people will step forward to help others in times of need. 'I'm just very happy she is okay,' said the 56-year-old. Tharman wished the workers well, and thanked them for their heroic acts. After the interaction, each of the workers received a memento of their visit to the Istana. The memento – a pen bearing the Presidential Crest – is typically given to guests of the President as a keepsake for them to remember their visit, said the President's Office. Following the sinkhole incident, migrant worker support organisation ItsRainingRaincoats launched a fundraiser for the workers involved in the rescue. It received more than S$72,000 (US$55,804) in public donations, which it will divide among the workers. The organisation said it will hold a small gathering at its Henderson Road premises on Aug 10 to honour the workers, and to announce the disbursement of the funds raised to their bank accounts. ItsRainingRaincoats had previously raised funds for the men who saved the children from the River Valley fire. Each of the 15 workers received around S$3,770 of the S$57,660 collected.- The Straits Times/ANN
