This year’s state-level National Day celebration will be held based on a hybrid format and on a smaller scale this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This will include a smaller number of attendees for the celebration with the theme “Malaysia Prihatin” (Malaysia Cares).
I have mentioned this to our media friends during the press conference which was held at Wisma Bapa Malaysia in Petra Jaya, Kuching earlier this morning.
The event will take place at our Sarawak Legislative Assembly complex in Petra Jaya on August 31 with a limited number of 100 guests in compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOP) set by State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) and Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH).
The event will be graced by our Head of State, His Excellency Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud together with his wife, Toh Puan Raghad Kurdi Taib along with Sarawak’s Chief, Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg and state Cabinet members.
The highlights of the celebration will include a musical titled "Semangat Anak Sarawak", inspired by the true story of the Sarawak Rangers' exploits during the Emergency. A special performance on the hard work by our frontliners will also be displayed as well as a documentary on the road to independence from Sarawak's perspective.
We are celebrating the National Day every year to foster patriotism, love for the country and unity. It is also an opportunity for the younger generation to understand the struggles of our leaders to gain independence. The celebration program will also be broadcasted live on the TVS television channel, RTM radio and the Sarawak Public Communications Unit's Facebook page.
