BEAUFORT: Malaysian Cocoa Board Managing Chairman Datuk Matbali Musah hopes every citizen will celebrate National Month by flying the Jalur Gemilang at home.

This is to express gratitude for the country’s freedom, thus, it should be celebrated with great enthusiasm, he said.

He said this during the launch of the Flying the Jalur Gemilang Ceremony cum Sports Carnival for the Kampung Mentulud Neighborhood Watch Area, here, recently.

He hopes the initiative can be continued and calls on villages within the Sipitang constituency, especially Lumadan, to jointly organise such programmes.
