1R1JG Campaign Stepped Up Through JAPEN@Petronas Programme

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- The 1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang (1R1JG) campaign is being stepped up through the Ekspresi Jalur Gemilang JAPEN@PETRONAS programme, which is being held simultaneously at 15 selected PETRONAS stations nationwide today.

The programme, organised by the Department of Information (JAPEN) in collaboration with PETRONAS, serves as a platform to promote patriotism and foster a love for the country among the public in conjunction with the National Month celebrations.

Under the initiative, the first 200 motorists at each participating station received free Jalur Gemilang magnetic stickers to encourage the public to display the national flag throughout National Month.

Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil also placed the magnetic stickers on vehicles at the PETRONAS station along the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) in Pantai Dalam as a symbolic gesture of support for the campaign.

He said the magnetic stickers were introduced this year in response to public feedback, with the removable option allowing them to be easily attached to and taken off vehicles without leaving any residue.

“I have also asked for the official song, the theme song for this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, Aku Berjanji by Faizal Tahir, to be played more frequently, including by the Information Department, RTM and all radio and television stations,” he told reporters after the event.

Fahmi said this year’s 1R1JG initiative comprises 11 programmes across nine clusters, including education, health, security, community, industry, houses of worship and sports, with activities being held at nearly 2,000 locations nationwide.
