KOTA BARU: Kelantan will be going with 'Membangun Bersama Islam' (Developing With Islam) as its theme in this year's Merdeka Day celebrations.

Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said this is because the state government wants to develop Kelantan in accordance with the framework of Islam.

Therefore, he said, the state government has chosen 'Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan Penuhi Harapan Membangun Bersama Islam' (Malaysia Madani: The Commitment Towards Unity Fulfils The Hope of Developing With Islam) as its theme for this year's National Day celebrations.

"This theme was specifically chosen to match that of the federal government's," he said.

Meanwhile, hotel operators in the state continue to carry out campaigns to fly the Jalur Gemilang in conjunction with the 66th Merdeka Day.

One of them is The Jewels Hotel that held its campaign event this evening.

"This campaign has been our annual activity to show our love to the country.

"We also distribute the jalur gemilang to motorists passing in front of our hotel," he added. - NST
