PETALING JAYA: The National Day and Malaysia Day logo unveiled by communications and multimedia minister Annuar Musa yesterday has drawn ridicule from netizens, likening it to the slow Internet speed faced by many Malaysians.
Since yesterday, many have taken to social media to express their views on the new logo, which they say resembles the WiFi symbol in blue, red, and yellow.
“Is the ministry symbolically trying to say that Malaysia’s unity is still weak, like our WiFi?” Facebook user Jeevithan P Ganasan said.
One Twitter user suggested that the logo designer probably received inspiration while facing internet connectivity problems.
“It’s firstly a WiFi symbol. The designer probably got the idea when he had WiFi problems. It’s complete, blue for Celcom, yellow for DiGi, and red for Maxis-Hotlink,” he said.
Netizen Galvin Tan tweeted that the logo is nice, but for the wrong reasons and perhaps better suited to promote 5G.
Meanwhile, another Facebook user said the new logo represented the party-hopping done by some politicians.
“I thought it looked like three people jumping left and right, one on top of the other over a ball. Maybe representing how we are suffering due to the results of party-hopping,” he said.
Yesterday, Annuar revealed “Keluarga Malaysia Teguh Bersama” as the theme for both the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations this year, symbolising the strength and togetherness achievable through collective efforts by all Malaysians.
He said this was in line with the Keluarga Malaysia concept introduced by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The logo is intended to represent infrastructural development, communication systems and the expansion of digitalisation efforts for the benefit of Malaysians. - FMT
