KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) carried the spirit of independence beyond borders today as 48 of its overseas offices came together virtually for the ‘Semarak Kibar Jalur Gemilang’ programme.
MATRADE chairman Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican said the participation of its overseas offices together with more than 300 local staff reflected a spirit of patriotism and unity that transcended geographical boundaries.
“As Malaysians, we must honour and cherish the meaning of the Jalur Gemilang and the Negaraku, which embody the nation’s identity. By balancing emotion and reason, we can drive the nation forward.
“I also want MATRADE to become a model agency in instilling values of racial unity, thereby making it one of the best agencies in the country,” he said after officiating the programme at Menara MATRADE here.
The event also featured the flag-off of the official vehicle, accompanied by four electric vehicles (EVs) and 10 motorcycles, symbolising togetherness and sustainability.
Reezal said the annual programme not only fostered patriotism but also united all MATRADE staff, within Malaysia and abroad.
Also present were MATRADE chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Seri Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz, Deputy CEO (Export Acceleration) Abu Bakar Yusof, Deputy CEO (Exporter Development) Mansor Shah Wahid, as well as China & Northeast Asia and ASEAN & Oceania Section Director Mazlan Harun
