Malaysia Day 2026 celebration set for Kuching’s Borneo Convention Centre, says Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 — Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil has announced that the 2026 Malaysia Day celebration will take place at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) in Sarawak. This decision was made during the first preparatory meeting for the event, held with Sarawak Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah on Monday.

Fahmi stated that the BCCK was chosen due to its suitable space, noting that it is similar to the PICCA Convention Centre in Butterworth where last year's Malaysia Day celebration was held. Speaking to reporters after a recent programme, Fahmi mentioned that preparations for the celebration are moving along smoothly, with the next meeting planned for August 24 to discuss further arrangements.

Additionally, Prasarana Malaysia Bhd has agreed to provide 24-hour public transport services during Putrajaya's National Day celebration on August 31, an improvement over past years that should make travel to and from Putrajaya easier for attendees. Fahmi also mentioned that other infrastructure improvements are being considered to enhance the experience for those attending the national event.
