On August 24, 2026, approximately 1,500 students from 36 schools in Selangor will participate in a human graphics performance as part of the 2026 National Day celebration at Dataran Putrajaya. Director Ithnin Mahadi of the Ministry of Education's Sports, Co-curriculum, and Arts Division revealed that the songs for the performance will be divided into four categories: patriotic, ethnic, state-themed, and Gen Z. The students have been training since July, initially separately at their respective schools before coming together for the final rehearsals.
The performance will feature creative hand movements synchronized with kompang beats, highlighting Malaysia's diverse culture and traditions. The graphics will emphasize messages of unity, harmony, and living together, reflecting the theme of "Malaysia MADANI: Kesejahteraan Dinikmati". The formations will depict a united Malaysia, with each ethnic group maintaining its identity and heritage before coming together to create a harmonious, inclusive, and prosperous nation.
