KUCHING - The Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) aims to turn the flash mob programme called Keretapi Sarong into a National Month activity next year.

Its minister, Fahmi Fadzil said the programme that took place today received encouraging response with the participation of over 10,000 people of various ages and races.

"It crossed my mind that we might discuss with organisers about including the programme as part of the activities for National Month in the future.

"I hope that next year we can plan more programmes for the National Month so that it won’t involve just flying the Jalur Gemilang flag,” he told reporters after the national-level Malaysia Day celebrations at Unity Stadium here, last night.

The Keretapi Sarong 2023 programme with its theme of Ethnicity and Unity is designed to instill a love for the country through diversity in conjunction with Malaysia Day celebrations and is organised by LOOCO, an organisation that promotes cultural activities since 2017.

The programme this year took place simultaneously in five major cities, Johor Baharu (along Sungai Segget), Kota Bharu (LaRocka Park), Ipoh (KTMB Ipoh) and Kuala Terengganu (Kampung Budaya Terengganu) as well as London, the United Kingdom (Battersea Power Station as its final destination). - BERNAMA
