Dateline: 29 August 2025
This morning, the spirit of Malaysia filled the air as the High Commission of Malaysia in Canada proudly hosted a flag raising ceremony at Ottawa City Hall to mark Malaysia’s 68th National Day.
As the Jalur Gemilang was raised and Negaraku echoed through the square, it was a proud and meaningful moment that honoured Malaysia’s identity here in Ottawa.
The ceremony featured remarks by Deputy Mayor Sean Devine, followed by a heartfelt address from High Commissioner Dato’ Dr Shazelina Zainul Abidin.
Guests were then treated to light refreshments, including sandwiches and Malaysia’s beloved kuih karipap and teh tarik.
Thank you to the City of Ottawa and everyone who joined us in marking this special day together.
