ional Day Parade 2018 2 | NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS AND EVENTS
The National Day celebrations culminated with a parade in Putrajaya, featuring
four similar components with the theme “Sayangi Malaysiaku” (Love My
Malaysia), namely patriotism, public order, national security and unity of the
people.
The choice of Putrajaya as the location of the National Day 2018 celebration,
after 13 years since it last hosted the celebration, is also special as YAB Tun
Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad was the person who mooted the development of the
area, previously known as Prang Besar, as the country’s administrative centre
in 1995.
An estimated 300,000 people thronged Dataran Putrajaya as early as 5 a.m.
bringing along their Jalur Gemilang to witness the National Day parade. A total
of 12,295 people and 475 assets were involved in the parade.
