PUTRAJAYA — The 2024 National Day celebration, which will be held at Dataran Putrajaya this Saturday, is expected to run without a hitch, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil (picture).

Fahmi who is also National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) 2024 Main Commitee chairman said this is expected as the full dry run for the celebration today proceeded smoothly, with all the processions and performances going according to plan.

“We expect all preparations to produce very positive outcomes on Saturday,” he said to reporters after the conclusion of the 2024 National Day Celebration Full Dry Run, here today.

However, Fahmi said there are certain aspects of coordination that could be improved to ensure perfection this Saturday. 

“We pray for all preparations and events to proceed smoothly,” he said.
