KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — A Harmony Parade to celebrate the country’s ethnic diversity and unity will be held on February 15 and 16, said National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang yesterday.
He said the parade would be held at night at Dataran Merdeka in conjunction with Federal Territories Day and the World Interfaith Harmony Week (annually held in the first week of February).
“I hope this programme will have a comprehensive and significant impact on our society, where we will involve various agencies and (followers of) various religions in the parade,” he said after being a guest on Bernama’s ‘Ruang Bicara’ TV programme here last night.
Aaron said further details regarding the parade would be announced later and added that it was an initiative under the Second Initiative which would be the basis for the ministry's direction this year, namely the Madani Harmony Initiative.
Among the main initiatives of the Ministry of National Unity are the Unity Ecosystem, the Madani Harmony Initiative, the Exploration of the Rukun Negara and the Socio-Cultural Community.
