Launch Of 2025 National Month: All Eyes On Bandar Maharani This Weekend
MUAR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Bandar Maharani is set to be enlivened this weekend with the numerous programmes and activities lined up in conjunction with the launch of the 2025 National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang Campaign at Dataran Tanjung Emas here this Sunday.
Many people-focused programmes such as the Kita MADANI Carnival, the Rahmah MADANI Sale, and the MADANI Community exhibition are being held at the launch site starting today, thus opening up a space for interaction between the people and government agencies and at the same time fostering a spirit of togetherness and patriotism.
Among the offers that also await visitors are discounts on summonses up to 30 per cent by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), free health examinations, driving license renewals, and other services from government agencies such as the National Registration Department, the Road Transport Department and the Employees Provident Fund.
Also not to be missed, 16 MADANI Community booths showcasing traditional food products and clothing from each state.
Tonight, the MADANI Arts Fiesta featuring local artistes, such as AC Mizal, Ayai Ilusi and Asmidar, will take the centre stage.
Other side events involving direct participation by the people include the MADANI Community Service at Taman Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah and the Peninsular MADANI Community Retreat in Melaka today, as well as the Merdeka 6.8KM Fun Run & Walk and the launch of the Merdeka Jalur Gemilang Convoy 2025 on Sunday.
The launch ceremony, which is expected to be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on the morning of the event (July 27), is not just a symbolic event but a major platform to boost the spirit of patriotism among the people from all walks of life.
According to the Information Department (JaPen) director-general Julina Johan, the selection of Muar as the venue for the event is significant because of the district's rich cultural heritage, such as zapin, ghazal and kuda kepang, which also reflect the Johor identity and reinforce a patriotic atmosphere that is friendly to the people.
'The theme of the 2025 National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, Malaysia MADANI: Rakyat Disantuni, is translated comprehensively through a people-based programme approach throughout this event," she told Bernama.

Malaysia Reiterates Ceasefire Call On Thailand-Cambodia Conflict
PUTRAJAYA, July 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has reiterated its appeal to Thailand and Cambodia to exercise maximum restraint, undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine peace efforts. As the Chair of ASEAN 2025, Malaysia said it is deeply concerned over the escalation between the two nations, which has resulted in increasing casualties on both sides, destruction of public property, and the displacement of a large number of people along the border areas. 'We reiterate our appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint and undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine it,' Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said in a statement Saturday. bootstrap slideshow He further urged both sides to return to the negotiating table to restore peace and stability based on the spirit of the ASEAN family, unity, and good neighbourliness. 'We stand ready to continue our work through the good offices of the ASEAN Chair in facilitating both immediate neighbours and fellow members of ASEAN to resume talks and end the fighting,' he added. In the latest development, Malaysia will continue engaging with the leaders of both states to propose a peace process in response to the border conflict between the two countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai had expressed appreciation for his initiative to propose a peace process and a ceasefire. On Friday, Anwar said the government does not take lightly the ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia and its impact on Malaysia. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian nations have been escalating since May 28 following a deadly incident in the Preah Vihear area that claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier.

MADANI Communities To Receive Further Details Within 24 Hours After Announcements
MELAKA, July 26 (Bernama) -- The MADANI Community nationwide will receive further details related to any announcement within 24 hours after it is made, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the measure was to deliver accurate information directly to the grassroots in each locality. 'For technical matters, it may be difficult, but we want the MADANI Community to get the simplest explanation,' he said at the 2025 Peninsular Malaysia MADANI Community Retreat held in conjunction with the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 at Mini Stadium Bistari, Ayer Keroh here tonight. The retreat, attended by around 2,300 participants from 1,406 MADANI Communities, was also joined by Melaka Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Communication Committee chairman Datuk Fairul Nizam Roslan. Also present were Senior Division Secretary (Management) of the Ministry of Communications, Mazlan Abd Mutalib, and Information Department director-general Julina Johan. Meanwhile, Fahmi said among the major announcements to be made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) on July 31. He said the tabling of a Malaysia Plan usually involved highly technical details related to the country's physical development, such as the construction of hospitals and schools. 'But within 24 hours, the MADANI Community will receive simplified explanations and breakdowns so that they can communicate the information in an easy-to-understand way to their respective communities. 'So this will be a new thing, because I want the MADANI Community to grasp and absorb any government announcement quickly,' he said.
