Flying Malaysia’s colours
STAR Media Group’s Raise The Flag campaign was conceived to strengthen national pride among Malaysians; it was launched on July 24 and will run until Malaysia Day on Sept 16.
Malaysians can participate in the campaign by using the cut-out templates published in The Star newspaper to create the Jalur Gemilang and ‘T-shirt’; pose with the flag and decorated T-shirt for a photograph and post it on social media with the hashtag #RaiseTheFlagMY.
You can also share your photo at facebook.com/raisetheflagmy.
And if yours is among the best poses, you could win prizes such as staycations and dining vouchers!
Submissions with at least 15 people “wearing” the T-shirts and waving the flags stand to win a RM4,000 buffet for 100 people from Original Kayu Nasi Kandar; winning group school entries will receive Pizza Hut vouchers.
If you missed the templates published in The Star , look out for the paper’s special issue on Sept 14.
To bulk order the special issue, contact The Star ’s customer care unit at 1-300-887 827 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).
Thousands of proud Malaysians have already posted photos on the social media wall at thestar.com.my/raisetheflag – check them out!
This site also has a video showing you how to cut out the flag and T-shirt.
The Raise The Flag campaign’s main sponsor is Aset Kayamas while Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd is the cosponsor.
