The Malaysia Book of Records has set a milestone in the local annals of publications. Once again, the Malaysia Book of Records has served as the catalyst for Malaysians to challenge or inspire themselves by exceeding their own expectations or going that extra distance which will keep the Jalur Gemilang flying high.
The passion, determination, drive, will-power and endurance displayed by the achievers and record-breakers in the Malaysia Book of Records will go a long way in fortifying the nation-building process. These strong traits should be embraced by all Malaysians, in perpetuating the 'Malaysia Boleh' spirit.

The beginning It all started on June 25, 2000, when a group of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia students, led by Mohd Khair Al-Amin, the director of the Beijing 2000 Project, traipsed into The Malaysia Book of Records office to discuss the mechanics of this feat.
It seemed an almost impossible task, what with having to transport a 2kmlong flag that weighed almost 2 tonnes, and having to hoist the flag across the Great Wall of China on the country's 51st National Day. In short it was uphill all the way.
