KUALA LUMPUR: The public is invited to participate in the Kuala Lumpur Unity Parade 2024 to be held on Feb 24.
It will start at 5pm at Dataran Merdeka with pit stops at Pasar Seni, GMBB Creative Community Shopping Centre, Jalan Alor, Lot 10 Shopping Centre and Berjaya Times Square before ending at Lalaport BBCC.
The parade will be the highlight of the two-day Unity Parade Kuala Lumpur 2024 programme organised by the Unity Parade and Kuala Lumpur Society in collaboration with the National Unity Ministry as well as organisers of the Kuala Lumpur Prosperity Walk and the World Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza.
The project director, Norrizan Abd Majid said the parade, involving a 3.6km walk, would also involve the participation of various religious, ethnic, cultural, artistic and musical groups.
“This parade will feature various unique elements of art and culture, there will be cultural performances, traditional costumes and decorated vehicles,” he told a press conference yesterday.
Norrizan said the event would be held in response to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call for Malaysians to play a role in preserving peace, harmony and unity.
“This event will not only foster and strengthen the spirit of unity, but also build a national identity, instil patriotism and strengthen the relationship among the local communities…the participation of various races will also create a more enthusiastic and harmonious society,” he said.
He hoped that the Unity Parade Kuala Lumpur 2024 programme could be made an annual event to promote tourism in the federal capital.
