  "summary": "The Malaysia Day 2026 celebration in Kuching, Sarawak, will celebrate unity and harmony across regions through a diverse range of cultural events and activities. The Communications Ministry has highlighted the significance of the 'Segulai Sejalai' spirit, which will be demonstrated through the Majlis Kesyukuran, where people from various faiths will come together to show unity. This event will be followed by a thanksgiving ceremony at the State Mosque, graced by Sarawak's Yang Dipertua Negeri, followed by the cutting of pulut kuning and the signing of the Malaysia Proclamation Book by the Prime Minister, Sarawak Premier, and Sabah Chief Minister. The event will also feature traditional performances, a local artistes concert, and a fireworks display. The celebration will be broadcast live on RTM TV1 and TVS, as well as covered by Bernama. The 2026 Malaysia Day retains the theme 'Malaysia Madani: Kesejahteraan Dinikmati' paired with Sarawak's unity slogan 'Segulai Sejalai'.",
