Cinemas to Play "Negaraku" Next Week
Friday, August 23, 2013
Cinema orperators are required to play "Negaraku" before
the start of every movie from the Merdeka month until Malaysia Day in
September if . Movie patrons need to stand up and sing national anthem
too! This was suggested by the Ministry of Communication and Multimedia
last week.
According to the minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery, 5 major
cinema's operators in the country will work together to demonstrate their
generosity with the ministry. This move was meant to promote and increase
patriotic spirit for the upcoming 56th National Day next Saturday.
The national anthem will be played in Golden
Screen Cinemas (GSC), Tanjung Golden Village Cinemas (TGV), Lotus
Five Star, MBO Cinemas and Cathay Cineplex started
next Wednesday.
"These promos are to remind us that we shouldn't take our
peaceful existence for granted, and to stand up for five to six minutes while
Negaraku are being played would be our way of showing gratitude and
appreciation to our fallen heroes," he added.
So, here comes the question. It's still unclear and unguarantee
that will movie patrons will choose to stand up to sing national anthems or
not; or will you guys skip the shows during the Merdeka week? Well, don't ask me back =.= I'm okay with that and I don't mind.
