SIBU: Assistant Minister of Education, Science and Technological Research Dr Annuar Rapaee has proposed that one day in a month be set aside as a ‘Nation Moment’ where citizens sing the national anthem Negaraku simultaneously nationwide.
He said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah has agreed that the proposal be held monthly as it would help to create patriotic Malaysians.
