This year's National Day celebration is celebrated in a very special atmosphere as it coincides with the holy month of Ramadhan. The situation provides an opportunity for the citizens and residents of the country to internalise the meaning of independence more deeply not only from the perspective of national sovereignty, but also from the spiritual aspect, gratitude and unity.

The month of Ramadhan is the best time for the citizens and residents of the country to increase their gratitude for the blessings of independence and peace that have been enjoyed so far. The National Day celebration in this holy month is seen as part of the fulfillment of the form of worship when it is accompanied by sincere intentions for the sake of peace, progress and the future of the nation.

Although the celebration is held during Ramadhan, the spirit of love for the country remains intact in the hearts of the citizens. Patriotism is not measured through mere gaiety, but through the sincerity and internalisation of the citizens towards the meaning of independence.

The National Day Celebration coinciding with Ramadhan, has been experienced by the country before for three consecutive years starting in 1993.

The National Day Celebration in this holy month should be internalised as an opportunity to strengthen the spirit of patriotism, unity and appreciation of spiritual values and become a catalyst for the formation of a united, faithful society and continue to preserve the peace and prosperity of the country.
