Keretapi Sarong 2025

Keretapi Sarong has grown from a small cultural initiative into one of Malaysia’s most anticipated annual events. This year, Keretapi Sarong 2025 (KS25) returns for its 9th edition, promising a colorful, creative, and heartwarming celebration in conjunction with Hari Malaysia. Taking place 8am onwards on 13 September 2025, KS25 invites Malaysians—and even international guests—to gather in traditional attire, especially the sarong, and ride together on public transport in a joyful flash mob-style event across the Klang Valley and selected cites across the nation such as George Town, Ipoh, Kuantan, Sungai Petani, Pasir Mas, Johor Bahru, and Melaka.

KS25 Participants dress in traditional outfits featuring the iconic sarong and commute via public transport such as MRT, LRT, Monorail and KTM lines. Together, they journey along selected routes, ultimately arriving at a mystery location where the celebration continues with performances, music, and more. This year’s theme, “Serumpun”, reflects a wider message of unity beyond national borders. Inspired by Malaysia’s 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship, the theme embraces shared cultural roots across the Nusantara region, which includes ASEAN countries. KS25 aims to show that while unity starts with Malaysians, it extends throughout the region. We may see people wearing traditional outfits not just from Malaysia, but also from other ASEAN nations.

Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned participant, KS25 offers a day packed with memorable experiences:

• Live traditional music performances

• Flash mobs and spontaneous cultural activities

• Photo opportunities and community bonding

• A fun and meaningful train ride through the city

And of course, everything begins with gathering at major stations before heading to the surprise final destination. This time, thousands of Malaysians will don sarongs and travel on public transport from selected starting stations across the Klang Valley such as:-

• Subang Jaya

• KL Sentral

• Gombak

• Mutiara Damansara

• Sri Damansara Sentral

• Kinrara BK5

• Kajang

• Ampang

• UPM

• Hang Tuah

• Putrajaya Sentral

• Wear your sarong/traditional clothing proudly. You can style it traditionally or with a modern twist. The more creative, the better.

• Arrive early. Stations will get crowded, so show up early to secure a good spot.

• Stay hydrated and energized. Bring a water bottle and light snacks to keep you going.

Keretapi Sarong 2025 is more than just a cultural flash mob—it’s a moving tribute to what it means to be Malaysian. The event continues to be a powerful symbol of diversity and solidarity, having grown into a nationwide movement that now reaches international communities as well. From the vibrant sarongs to the shared train rides, this event captures the essence of unity in diversity. Mark your calendars for 13 September 2025, wear your sarong with pride, and come celebrate Malaysia with thousands of others who believe in the beauty of our traditions.  For more details, head to the organizer https://www.locco.com.my and their social media.
