Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah State-level Kita Madani Carnival 2025 will take place from Aug 21 to 23 at Padang Istiadat, Tuaran, featuring nine major events designed to foster unity and promote the Malaysia Madani values.

According to Mujahid Halpi (pic), Assistant Director of the Communication Services and Community Development Division under the Sabah Information Department, the carnival serves as a platform to unite Malaysians from all walks of life while enhancing public awareness of government initiatives under the Madani framework.

Among the carnival’s highlights include Digital Race Merdeka @ Kelab Malaysiaku, Active Sports @ Madani, Fama Sales @ Agro Madani, Patriotic Star @ Madani singing competition, Government agency service booths, Fan Art @ Madani and Rahmah Sales offering essential goods at lower prices.

The event will kick off with the Ukhuwah Madani Programme, officiated by Pantai Dalit Assemblyman Datuk Jasnih Daya on Aug 21.

One of the crowd-pullers is expected to be the Patriotic Star @ Madani competition, where 30 early registrants will perform patriotic songs. The top three performers will move on to the finals.

Shoppers can look forward to Rahmah Sales on August 23 and explore Agro@Madani offerings by FAMA on August 22. Meanwhile, various government agencies will provide on-site services and information throughout the carnival.

“This programme is open to all Malaysians, with no registration fees. Just come and participate,” Mujahid said, encouraging community members to join in the celebration.

Registration for selected activities such as the Patriotic Star competition can be completed on-site or via links shared on Japen Sabah’s official social media platforms.

Mujahid expressed hope that the event will promote harmony, mutual respect, and cooperation among citizens of all backgrounds.
