  "account": "The Johor Military Forces will make their debut in this year's National Day parade in Putrajaya, announced Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil. The participation of the Johor force is one of the highlights of the celebration, which is set to take place at Dataran Putrajaya on August 31st. The military force will be accompanied by a contingent of 100 members and will showcase their assets during the parade. This is a unique feature of this year's event, as visitors will have the opportunity to view the military assets up close at designated locations such as Dataran Floria, the Millennium Monument, and Dataran Aman. Fahmi highlighted that this year's celebration features more floats and contingents compared to previous years, with several major structures, including the Royal Box, already set up. Furthermore, the government is finalising health-related standard operating procedures for the celebration due to concerns over the haze.",
