Largest formation of Jalur Gemilang with cars

The largest car formation of Jalur Gemilang earned a spot in the Malaysian Book of Record (MBOR) yesterday (31 Aug).

According to Buletin TV3, 234 cars with the Jalur Gemilang colours (red, white, blue and yellow) gathered at Sireh Park, Iskandar Puteri, Johor for the formation.

Organised by a local beverage company, Haos Ek? in collaboration with the Iskandar Puteri City Council (MBIP), the formation is part of an effort to encourage public participation, especially among the young generation to instil a sense of strong patriotism in them.

Besides cherishing the nation’s Independence Day, the effort was also to reintroduce Sireh Park as a recreational and family leisure area.
