Malaysia Prihatin, a Show of Unity and Compassion!

National and Malaysia Day Celebrations!

‘Malaysia Prihatin’ directly translates to Malaysia Cares, which is the appointed theme for this year’s National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations. Malaysians have displayed a caring nature, along with firm determination and patience during COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this theme was selected to recognise the virtues amplified by Malaysians when facing the trials and tribulations during unprecedented times. Furthermore, the caring nature of the government was observed when prioritising the welfare of its people with its ‘Prihatin Initiative. This initiative is an economic stimulus package which will provide support to Malaysians during this difficult time.
