300 Motorcyclists Take Part In Lembah Pantai Kembara Merdeka Convoy

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 (Bernama) -- Nearly 300 motorcyclists joined the Lembah Pantai Kembara Merdeka Convoy today to enliven the Merdeka eve celebrations.

Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the convoy aimed to bring together the area’s multi-ethnic community, while fostering unity and patriotism.

“We have gathered today to demonstrate the spirit of being Malaysians, who come from diverse backgrounds.

“Those of us living in Lembah Pantai, in particular, have many friends from different backgrounds. We want to bring everyone together to show that our unity can help move Lembah Pantai and Malaysia forward,” he said in his speech at the programme here.

The Lembah Pantai MP expressed hope that the friendship and unity demonstrated by the local community throughout the programme would continue through various activities in the future.

“I hope the bonds we have forged today will continue. I also hope everyone here will continue to join us in various programmes, including initiatives to provide contributions and assistance, as well as Merdeka eve celebrations and other activities,” he said.

The convoy began at Taman Seri Sentosa, with participants travelling to five pit stops, including Kampung Pasir, IWK Eco Park and Vista Angkasa in Kampung Kerinchi, before ending at Bangsar LRT station.

Fahmi said participants also handed over Jalur Gemilang flags at each pit stop to representatives of the Resident Representative Council and the local community as a symbolic gesture to spread the spirit of patriotism.
