KUALA LUMPUR: The National Unity Week celebration will kick off in Kuching at the end of May, said National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang.
He said the week-long grand celebration would be launched just ahead of Gawai Day on June 1 and would involve all states.
"We will have tours to Sabah, Johor and Penang, and all states will hold programmes on the National Unity Week,” he told a press conference at the launch of the Unity Gallery Programme at AEON Alpha Angle here on Friday (March 10).
He said the celebration would see various events like the Unity Gallery Programme being implemented through the three main clusters of Splendour of Nationhood, Rahmah Community Programme and Splendour of Unity.
