00:00A total of 5.3 million students under the Education Ministry have started to wear the
00:07Jalur Gemilang badge on their school uniforms, as part of a new nationwide initiative.
00:13Education Minister Fadlina Sedeq officially launched the program on Monday at Sekolah
00:18Menengah Kebangsaan Datuk Haji Ahmad Badawi in Kepala Batas, with simultaneous kick-off
00:24events taking place across the country.
00:26The Minister also urged other educational institutions outside the Ministry's jurisdiction
00:32to participate in the initiative, with hope that all students throughout the country
00:37to embrace the program and its objectives.
01:26I believe the badge also welcomed the initiative, describing it as a meaningful effort to instill patriotism.
01:32I feel so, what's important for us to use the Jalur Gemilang badge?
01:38So, we can be able to give up our opinions and we can be able to destroy our hearts between the people and the people without giving up the religion and other reasons.
01:50I feel so excited when I use this badge and I feel very good.
01:54This brings me to all students and I feel very good because I love the country.
02:05Earlier, the Education Ministry announced the phased implementation of the Jalur Gemilang
02:11Badge on uniforms in all its educational institutions, effective on April 21.
02:17The initiative involved government schools, government-aided schools, matriculation colleges,
02:24and the Malaysian Teacher Education Institute to instill a deep sense of patriotism among
02:29both students and educators.
02:32Students who do not wear the badge will not face any punishment as the initiative is
02:36not meant to be punitive, but rather to cultivate a sense of love for the country.
