> A Kelantan volunteer is using a samurai-inspired costume to encourage people to keep public places clean, the daily also reported.
Nik Ahmad Kashfi Nik Zamani, better known as Kay, has been travelling across the state collecting rubbish while spreading the message that cleanliness is everyone’s responsibility.
The 31-year-old Kota Baru native is not a local council worker or environmental activist. Instead, he uses social media to share his cleanliness mission and encourage communities to take better care of their surroundings.
“I am visiting every district in Kelantan to collect rubbish. It is not just about creating content, but showing people that keeping our surroundings clean is everyone’s responsibility.”
Kay said his Japanese-inspired outfit came from his interest in anime and Japan’s culture of cleanliness.
Although some people initially thought his actions were unusual, many changed their views once they learnt about his mission.
His efforts earned him the Special Appreciation Award for Environmental Friends (Community Cluster) at the National Environment Day 2025 celebration.
Kay hopes to work with schools and communities to create greater awareness.
