HULU Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS) marked its fifth year of municipal status with an explorace in Kuala Kubu Baru (KKB) to promote ecotourism, environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
The Hulu Selangor Explorace: Eco Discovery 2026 was aimed at showcasing the district’s heritage and tourist attractions.
MPHS president Julaihah Jamaludin said the strong participation reflected growing interest in visiting Hulu Selangor to discover its unique history, heritage, natural beauty and other attractions.
She said 30 teams took part in the event, with demand continuing even after registration had reached its quota.
The explorace challenged participants’ agility and teamwork, showcased KKB’s history and identity, and promoted environmental sustainability by collecting used cooking oil as well as electrical and electronic waste.
“MPHS hopes programmes like this will encourage the public to appreciate local heritage, adopt environmentally friendly lifestyles and support community initiatives to create a more sustainable environment and thriving community,” Julaihah said in a statement, reported by Bernama.
Participants collected 230kg of used cooking oil and 37 e-waste items weighing a total of 14.65kg, through the activities.
As part of the programme’s corporate social responsibility initiative, participants also contributed to non-profit organisations Pertubuhan Kebajikan Ar Rahmaniah and Asrama Baitul Rahmaniah.
