KUCHING (May 6): Serian will host this year's National Youth Day celebration, which will also feature the Sarawak-Level National Youth Awards 2025 from May 16 to 17 at the Serian Convention Centre (SCC).
According to a report by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas), the programme is jointly organised by the Sarawak Youth and Sports Department in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
'The celebration will be officiated by the Minister for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah,' the report read.
Serian Division Resident, Caroline Cleophas Joseph, said that comprehensive preparations are underway following a recent coordination meeting of the HBN Celebration Committee.
Now in its 61st edition, this year's HBN celebration carries the theme 'Yakin Boleh' (Sure Can), reflecting the government's aspiration to nurture a generation of youth who are competitive, confident, and future-ready.
Thirteen themed activity zones ― referred to as 'Ports' ― will serve as major attractions. These include Port Makan-Makan, Port Gaya & Trend, Port Healing, Port Gaming (E-Sports), Port Jana Duit, and Port FYP, each tailored to the varied interests and needs of today's youth.
Additionally, dedicated pavilions will be set up for Rakan Muda, the Sarawak United National Youth Organisation (Saberkas), and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
Members of the public, especially youths, are encouraged to attend and take part in the exciting line-up of activities throughout the two-day event.
