PUTRAJAYA, Sept 3 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Unity Government today congratulated and expressed the highest appreciation to all involved in the Merdeka celebration on Saturday.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said Anwar also extended his appreciation and congratulated the Communications Ministry and the National Unity Ministry for their meticulous preparations and successful implementation of the event.
Fahmi said Anwar was moved by the commitment shown by all participants, especially the “human graphic” team, which displayed a great performance.
“The PM expressed his deepest gratitude, especially to the ‘human graphic’ team, which comprised mainly secondary school students. He also asked for an appreciation programme to be held for them.
“At the ministry level, we will indeed organise an appreciation ceremony, but the PM specifically asked for something, a token of appreciation, to be given to the human graphic team,” he said at the weekly media conference here today.
Fahmi said the commitment translated through the performance also created an attractive atmosphere for the audience and those watching on television at home.
On the Communications Carnival 2024 at Hutan Bandar Putra in Kulai, Johor, this weekend, Fahmi said it is one of the government’s efforts to increase public awareness of digital literacy.
“This is also the ministry’s effort at the community level so there is no misunderstanding due to the spread of false information in addition to making the public aware of the dangers of online crime,” he said.
Earlier, the Communications Ministry announced it will host the carnival on Friday and Saturday to raise awareness about the importance of broadband and the latest technologies.
The first series of the carnival will involve departments and agencies under the Communications Ministry, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, Home Affairs Ministry, Finance Ministry, Youth and Sports Ministry, police, the Inland Revenue Board, and telcos such as U Mobile, Celcomdigi, Maxis and YES.
