THE Malaysia Madani logo will be the official emblem for this year’s Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.

He also launched the “Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan, Penuhi Harapan” theme for the celebration this morning.

“This year, Malaysia has reached 66 years of independence, liberating us from ‘penjajah’ (colonial rule) and fostering peaceful coexistence among people of diverse races and religions in our blessed land,” he said.

“Indeed, Malaysia’s independence is for all people.

“It is crucial for people to grasp the true significance of independence for everyone.”
