Promoting The Spirit Of Merdeka

Commuters at the Imbi monorail station were in for a surprise today when Bursa Malaysia Berhad’s Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Yusli Mohamed Yusoff greeted them with mini Jalur Gemilang flags. Dato’ Yusli was there with several other members of Bursa Malaysia’s management team as part of the exchange’s Merdeka celebration efforts.

Dato’ Yusli said, “For this year’s 50th Merdeka celebration, we wanted to embark on an activity that would both involve our staff and allow us to connect with our fellow Malaysians. Bursa Malaysia has always been a part of the nation’s progress, so we wanted to celebrate our country’s Golden Jubilee with our fellow Malaysians - and what better way than to encourage everyone to fly the Jalur Gemilang!”

Fellow Malaysians also have the chance to “ride with Bursa Malaysia” in the month of August as the exchange extends the Merdeka spirit to the Monorail and LRT trains. Commuters will witness caricatures that feature various national landmarks and achievements on the interior of selected trains.

As the country is celebrating its Golden Jubilee, Bursa Malaysia is also adding colour to its building at the Exchange Square with brighter lights and a giant Jalur Gemilang banner.
