MANJUNG: The community of Bandar Baru Setia Awan Perdana in Sitiawan proudly displayed their patriotism by hoisting the Perak state flag in honour of the Sultan of Perak’s birthday celebration.
This community effort was led by Tan Ko Shin, a council member of the Manjung Municipal Council.
In addition to the Bandar Baru Setia Awan Perdana area, Perak flags were also raised along the main roads.
This gotong-royong (communal work) initiative symbolizes the community’s loyalty to His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Perak, and reflects the deep affection the people have for their monarch.
The monarchy holds a significant place in maintaining the harmony of Malaysia’s diverse society, which comprises various ethnicities, traditions, and religions.
At the same time, the royalty stands as a symbol of safety, prosperity, harmony, and the well-being of both the people and the nation.
