Thousands of our local folks and visitors had gathered at Padang Merdeka despite the torrential rain prior to the start of the much awaited “Kuching City Street Parade 2025” which was a huge success. Kudos to both Kuching North City Hall (DBKU) and Kuching South City Council (MBKS) for a job well done in jointly organising the exciting event that is being held in conjunction with this year’s “Kuching City Day 2025” celebration.
Our folks from all walks of life had looked forward to the parade which featured a number of colourful performances from staff of various government agencies, the private sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Kejiranan Mesra (KJM) groups, and institutions of higher learning. With it’s theme, “Parade of Lights”, had featured around 52 contingents with 2,000 participants.
Among the local dignitaries and distinguished who were also present at the event was Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian, who represented our right honourable Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg.
Each contingent’s performance was truly unique and had showcased its own creativity through the dazzling displays of lights, musical performances, cultural performances, and colourful costumes that reflected the cultural diversity and harmony of the people of Sarawak. We were delighted to have a number of domestic and foreign visitors too who were eager to see the various performances including the fireworks display during the grand finale. Our congratulations to all those who had contributed to the success of this year’s parade and we certainly look forward to next coming event.
