The program was held at the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC)
on 30 August 2015, attended by about 2,000 people from all walks of life.
The main messages this year were solidarity among the people, ensuring that the
people live a comfortable life and maintaining peace and unity based on the
interviews conducted by BERNAMA through BERNAMA TV and BERNAMA Radio24
shortly after the ceremony. The Prime Minister outlined a number of important facts
which were the goals of previous leaders in fighting for independence that led to
freedom and comfortable life and that need to be remembered and appreciated.
National Day Parade
The event was a major program which was held every year as a highlight of the
celebration. This year, the concept of the performance were drafted in accordance
with the theme of #sehatisejiwa and started with a special performance, Derap
Seragam, by 900 officers and men from the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM). The
performance was a first for the ATM at a national day parade; it was followed by a
musical interlude mounted by school students. An LED screen measuring 108 metres
by nine metres - the biggest ever used in any celebration in the country - was also
installed at Dataran Merdeka to enable the thousands of people get a clearer view
of the action and with a lot of performances, the event had attracted almost 450,000
people.
The people also had the opportunity to witness almost 13,000 participants from the
public and private sector, security forces, school students and a group of mountain
guides take part in this mesmerizing parade. Besides that, the involvement of
corporate agencies and NGOs were important in encouraging the cooperation
between the government and the private sector in fostering national unity towards
Vision 2020. Overall, the organization of the National Day 2015 celebrations showed
a synergy between the government and the private sector as well as NGOs in the
implementation of programs. Moreover, the spirit of #sehatisejiwa was successfully
delivered through various activities and performances. The use of ICT and multimedia
had also received positive feedbacks and made this year’s celebration to be more
interesting and had increased the number of spectators and visitors.
