KUALA LUMPUR: The public is invited to a unity parade and walk in Kuala Lumpur on Feb 24, which will take participants through some of the national capital’s iconic locations.
The Kuala Lumpur Unity Parade 2024 will start at 5pm at Dataran Merdeka with pitstops at Pasar Seni, GMBB Creative Community Shopping Centre, Jalan Alor, Lot 10 Shopping Centre, Berjaya Times Square before ending at Lalaport BBCC.
The 3.6km parade is 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, the Kuala Lumpur Prosperity Walk, and the World Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza.
The event’s director Norrizan Abd Majid said the parade would involve artistic and musical teams from the nation’s diverse ethnic and cultural groups.
“The parade will feature cultural performances, traditional costumes and decorated vehicles,” he told a press conference yesterday, Bernama reported.
Norrizan said the event was a response to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call for Malaysians to play a role in preserving peace, harmony and unity.
“The event can foster and strengthen the spirit of unity, build a national identity, instil patriotism and strengthen the relationship among local communities to create a more harmonious society,” the event’s director said.
