Saifuddin: Set aside political differences, focus on combatting Covid-19
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — The spirit of patriotism should now focus on fighting Covid-19 and putting aside political differences, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
“The spirit of patriotism should be focused on needs, for example in the past during the colonialists’ rule, our focus was against the colonialists and now the focus should be to fight Covid-19. Asked about the National Day and Malaysia Day 2021 celebrations, Saifuddin urged ministries, departments and government agencies to fly the Jalur Gemilang on their respective buildings and premises to express love and patriotism to the country.
“This is the second year that Malaysians celebrate National Day and Malaysia Day during the Covid-19 era and large-scale events that gather many people cannot be held.
