  "account": "Putrajaya, August 28 — Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil has reported that preparations for the 2026 National Day parade at Dataran Putrajaya are nearly complete, with only minor adjustments expected for tomorrow's dress rehearsal. The improvements are primarily focused on synchronizing the movement distances between contingents to create a more orderly parade. Fahmi, who chairs the 2026 National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) Main Committee, inspected the rehearsal, noting the good weather and the participants' enthusiasm. The parade will feature new assets and formations, as well as the inaugural participation of the Johor Military Force and the maritime asset, the Ibrahim-class boat designed by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim King of Malaysia. The safety of the human graphics performance, involving 1,500 students, has been thoroughly assessed by Putrajaya Corporation, with slight movement within the allowed tolerance level ensured. The structure's slight asymmetrical positioning is due to the parade route and PPj building not being on the same axis, and Fahmi has asked the organizing secretariat to review technical adjustments for future editions.",
