Wearing the Jalur Gemilang badge on uniforms will be an effective way to instil a patriotic spirit and cultivate a love for the country among students.
Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun said this would be a solid foundation in educating loyal, caring, and proud citizens towards a national identity.
"I feel very proud to see these children wearing the Jalur Gemilang badge with enthusiasm and confidence, We want to raise a generation that always loves, cares, and wants to fight for the country.
"This country belongs to all of us. The spirit of togetherness is what needs to be continuously nurtured for a brighter future for Negeri Sembilan and Malaysia," he told reporters at the Aidilfitri celebration organised by the Seremban City Council (MBS) today.
Aminuddin said that by emphasising the symbol or badge of the Jalur Gemilang, the spirit of camaraderie among students can be strengthened, carrying through to their adulthood.
Highly encouraged
In Kelantan, schools that are not under the purview of the Education Ministry, including those under the Kelantan Islamic Foundation (YIK), should encourage their students to wear the Jalur Gemilang badge.
State Education Department deputy director (school management sector) Mat Lazim Mohammad said the department is open to the participation of such schools or any other educational institutions interested in implementing this initiative.
"However, its implementation must adhere to the standards or guidelines set in the ministry’s circular," he told reporters at a ceremony for Jalur Gemilang Badge Wearing for Educational Institutions under the ministry in Kota Bharu today.
Mat Lazim said the badge must be worn on the right side of the uniform, aligned with the name tag; neat and undamaged; and not be used on inappropriate clothing or arbitrarily.
He also said that any modifications to the badge are not allowed, including changes in position, size, shape or colour.
A total of 313,570 secondary and primary school students across Kelantan wore the Jalur Gemilang badge simultaneously this morning, as a symbol of unity and love for the country.
Previously, the ministry announced that the wearing of the Jalur Gemilang badge on student uniforms would be implemented in stages across all educational institutions under the ministry's purview, starting today.
