00:00Malaysians have unique ways of showcasing our culture and celebrate the Malaysia Day.
00:17Today we celebrate with a splash of unity by wearing the sarong.
00:23So, without further ado, welcome aboard Kereta Api Sarong.
00:27Selamat Hari Malaysia!
00:31We travelled from the Subang Jaya Station to the Dang Wangi Station on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line
00:37in various sarong colours on Saturday.
00:44We then walked to the Malaysia Tourism Centre grounds to celebrate the special occasion,
00:48together with thousands of people.
00:51This annual Kereta Api Sarong 2024 event was organised by non-governmental organisation, LOKO,
00:58to boost the use of public transport and revel our traditions.
01:02It was an amazing experience.
01:04We didn't expect so many people, but they were very supportive and happy.
01:08The best thing is that we got to see different cultures and religions.
01:12Today, everything is united.
01:14That's me!
01:16This is my first time, and this is my second time.
01:21It's great to be able to wake up early and be productive on a Saturday.
01:26We also met participants who came in other forms of unique attires representing the country.
01:32The attire I'm wearing is related to Raya flowers.
01:36Raya flowers are our national flower.
01:40This year's Kereta Api Sarong theme is pride of Malaysia.
01:45So, I'm proud to wear the Raya flowers,
01:49as well as the sarong,
01:52especially for the Kereta Api Sarong.
01:54I only have a week to pack everything.
01:57First of all, my attire is a Javanese concept.
02:00Basically, it's from the culture of Malaysia.
02:06So, I adapt everything in my outfit for today.
02:11Actually, every year, I come to participate in the Kereta Api Sarong.
02:15I'm proud of being Malaysian.
02:17We show off our attire together.
02:21Each of us has our own uniqueness.
02:28I always like how Malaysia has different cultures and styles.
02:31I love that everyone is embracing their culture and wearing such pretty costumes.
02:36It's not just Malay, Indian and Chinese.
02:39I saw Iban, Sarawakian and Sabahan.
02:42I think it's so pretty.
02:44It feels like we are all one team.
02:48When I came alone from Subang,
02:50they said,
02:51you don't have a gang?
02:52Come and join us.
02:53Everyone was so welcoming.
02:55We felt at home.
02:57If you go on a holiday,
02:59I think it's necessary that you go to a day like this.
03:04Because on a normal holiday, you don't see it.
03:06I think this makes it special to see how they really live.
03:24The Kereta Api Sarong 2024 was certainly fun.
03:27I hope it attracts even larger crowds in the future
03:30to celebrate our unity.
03:32I'm Deshka Karunanidhi from Star TV.
03:35Selamat Hari Malaysia!
