Fahmi said this at the press conference of the inaugural Malaysia National Level 2026 Celebration Day Welcome Exhibition here, today.

The exhibition, held from 10 to 15 September, used a large-scale gallery concept and showcased the corridors of Malaysia's formation era.

He said the gallery has been worked on together with the Malaysian National Archives of Sarawak and the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (UKAS).

Among them were an exhibition of information on the ethical and orderly use of the Gemilang Line as well as information on the theme and logo of National Day and Malaysia Day 2026.

"I hope that many will be able to see, understand and then join the spirit and celebrate Malaysia Day", he said. -TVS
