KUALA LUMPUR: Sarong, a clothing item that can be found in most local households, coloured the streets and train stations around Klang Valley on Malaysia Day today (Sept 16).
Thousands of Malaysians celebrated the roots of their multi-ethnic identities while doing it in style in conjunction with the Keretapi Sarong 2023 flash mob programme organised by Locco, a non-governmental organisation .
Aside from Bandar Utama, other transit points include Putrajaya Sentral , Subang Jaya , Bandar Utama , Ampang , Gombak , Kajang and KL Sentral , all heading to one destination, the Dataran Merdeka. The most eye-catching performance at the Bandar Utama MRT station was the energetic Dikir Barat, a unique musical art form that involves the combination of singing, poetry reciting, synchronised dancing, and music.
“I heard about Keretapi Sarong last year and I made a plan with a friend to join the programme this year. We have memorised all the songs and are very excited to sing along with the others,” she said when met at the Bandar Utama MRT station in Petaling Jaya.
