KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), in collaboration with Twitter Inc, has created a special emoji on Twitter that can be used to enliven the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations soon.

A statement issued by MCMC today stated that the move was part of the Caring Malaysia initiative in conjunction with this year's National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.

"The special emoji that is developed for free can be used as one of the ways to express the feeling and spirit of love for the country, and is suitable to be used with the hashtags #MalaysiaPrihatin, #MalaysiaMerdeka, #MenangBersama and #HariMalaysia," it read.
