Merdeka Day campaign shifts into high gear

Preparation for the Merdeka Day celebration has gained pace with some 300 mini Jalur Gemilang flags being distributed to market-goers and members of the public at Cecil Street Market in Penang.

Pengkalan Kota Barisan coordinator Loke Poh Chye said the flags were given in anticipation of the country's 55 years of independence.

"While distributing Jalur Gemilang, there is also a petition campaign to collect signatures to urge the people to support the movement to return Penang's free port status and other issues such as affordable housing.

"This is a three-month ongoing campaign to gain Penangites' support on these issues," he told a press conference at the market here yesterday.

Market-goers were seen grabbing the mini flags and waving it in the air with pride in the spirit of Merdeka.

Some 500 eco-friendly reusable grocery bags were also given to the people during the event.

Also present were Padang Kota Barisan coordinator Oh Tong Keong and former Komtar assemblyman Datuk Lim Gim Soon.
