Announcing this at its first meeting on Thursday, chairman of the Main Committee for the 2025 Malaysia Day celebration, Datuk Seri Christina Liew said Malaysia Day holds a special meaning for all Malaysians. She reiterated that Sabah is a state that holds significant historical importance in the formation of Malaysia. 'Holding the event is a meaningful gesture that honours the shared history and aspirations of all Malaysians. 'It is not only a day to commemorate the formation of our beloved nation but also a moment to reflect on the unity, diversity and harmony that define Malaysia. 'This year, with our chosen theme, 'Malaysia Madani, Rakyat Disantuni', we aim to further strengthen these values and inspire all Malaysians to embrace the spirit of togetherness. 'Your continued commitment, tireless efforts and collaboration are crucial to the success of this year's Malaysia Day celebration,' Liew, who is also Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment, said in a statement, after chairing the meeting at the ministry's conference room. While conceding that preparations are progressing well, she pointed out that there are still critical areas that require the organising committee's immediate focus, particularly logistics, security, protocol arrangements and promotional efforts. 'I urge all agencies and stakeholders to work closely and expedite any pending matters to ensure smooth execution. 'The success of this celebration depends on the support and cooperation of every stakeholder – from government ministries and agencies to the private sector, local authorities, and community leaders. 'I call upon each of you to continue playing your part actively and with full dedication,' Liew said. The minister expressed the hope that this year's Malaysia Day celebration will set a new benchmark, not only in terms of management and coordination but also in encouraging greater public participation and impactful media coverage. 'I am confident that, with our combined strengths, we can deliver a memorable and meaningful celebration for all Malaysians in Sabah,' she said, adding that the organising committee expects a turnout of 30,000 people at Padang Merdeka on September 16. The ministry's permanent secretary Datuk Josie Lai is the chairman of the Celebration Implementing Committee.
