Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yesterday reminded all quarters to respect whatever agenda the government has and not to politicise National Day.

He said the agenda and theme of this year's National Day should be accepted and supported by all levels of society.

"We want all races, religions, and backgrounds to respect and not politicise National Day. The (National Day) theme and logo (is) proof of our togetherness as a progressive country.

"We can have different views, beliefs and opinions, but there are moral (values) that we must recognise as our main guide," he said.

The theme for National Day and Malaysia Day 2023 is "Malaysia Madani: Tekad Perpaduan, Penuhi Harapan", with Malaysia Madani as the official logo.
