"Kempen Kibarkan Jalur Gemilang" with Putera MIC Negeri Sembilan was held in conjunction with Malaysia's 56th Independence anniversary.
This campaign was launched by Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan, YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan together with Dato' T. Rajagopalu (MIC Negeri Simbilan Head), YB. Manickam(NS EXCO Member) and Dato VS.Mogan.
Putera MIC Negeri Sembilan was also a part of "Merdeka Walk", which is an initiative by Mr.Ragu and his daughters Nithyarubini and Nithyadarshini, proud Malaysians, who have last year completed a 937km walk from Malacca to Alor Setar, Kedah to celebrate Malaysia's independence.
This year, they were joined by Surya, Mr.Ragu's son who studies in SK Ho Seng Ong Methodist, Ipoh, Perak. According to Ragu, he wanted to mark the country's 56th independence anniversary in a special way with his father and sisters.“This is why I have decided to follow my father and two elder sisters in walking from Johor to Perlis, passing through the states of Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Penang, Kedah and Perlis. We also welcome fellow Malaysians to walk with us, not throughout the journey, but for a short spell to show their love for the nation and to keeps us motivated to do our best,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ragu said that the walk, which was part of a fun-filled outing for the family, was also for them to show their love for the country and instill patriotism in fellow Malaysians.
Ragu, who is from Bercham, Ipoh, said the walk is expected to end before Merdeka as he and his three children would be covering some 50km a day.“The start of the walk was a bit slow this time around but when we passed Muar in Johor, people came and cheered us on and this gave us the extra boost to do better and complete our mission sooner than expected," he said.
Putera MIC Negeri Sembilan with the support from Dato' T Rajagopalu (MIC Negeri Sembilan chairman) supported Mr.Ragu's initiative by providing lodging and cash aid to help them through the journey.
