Round-the-clock Prasarana services for National Day

During Malaysia's National Day, Prasarana, the public transport company, will operate round-the-clock services commencing after midnight on August 30. The decision was announced by government spokesman Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil, who expressed hope that the extended services would attract more people to Putrajaya for the celebrations. Fahmi officiated the Majlis Ekspresi Jalur Gemilang JAPEN@Petronas event in Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur.
In addition to the 24-hour services, Malaysia's Malaysia Day celebrations are set to be held at the Borneo Cultural Centre in Kuching, Sarawak. Fahmi likened the scale of these events to Penang's PICCA Convention Centre, which accommodated last year's Malaysia Day celebrations. He mentioned that the preparations were progressing well following the first committee meeting, scheduled for August 24.
For this year's distribution of the Jalur Gemilang, Malaysia's national ribbon, Prasarana has introduced magnetic flags for vehicles, responding to feedback from motorists who preferred magnets over the traditional tack-on variety. Fahmi also urged radio and television stations to give increased airtime to Faizal Tahir's song, "Aku Berjanji," designated as the theme song for this National Month.
