Kuala lumpur: The Sarawak Department of Information (JAPEN) has called on Sarawakians to foster the spirit of patriotism through the 1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang (1R1JG) campaign by flying the national flag in conjunction with the National Day and Malaysia Day 2026 (HKHM 2026) celebrations. State JAPEN deputy director Sri Kestury Mohammed Zamhari emphasized that the initiative aims to instil pride and love for the nation while strengthening the spirit of unity among Sarawak's multiracial communities.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Sri Kestury highlighted that patriotism should not only be celebrated during the National Month but should also be embraced and practised in daily life. She stated that Sarawak JAPEN seeks to instil a sense of pride, love for the nation, and the spirit of unity among the people so that patriotism is not merely celebrated but truly embraced.

Sri Kestury further elaborated that the 1R1JG campaign, along with the display of the Jalur Gemilang at government premises, is among the department's main initiatives to enliven this year's HKHM 2026 celebrations. This effort sets an example for the private sector, communities, and the public to also fly the national flag.

As a show of support for the campaign, Sarawak JAPEN installed the Jalur Gemilang around its headquarters on July 20, reflecting the department's commitment to promoting the message of patriotism among the people.
