🌺 Keretapi Sarong – Malaysia’s Most Colorful Train Ride!

Get your groove on and let's celebrate Malaysia Day with Keretapi Sarong, the annual cultural flashmob that turns public transport into a moving festival!

Just dress up in vibrant sarongs or your favourite traditional Malaysian outfit, and join us on πŸπŸ‘π­π‘ π’πžπ©π­πžπ¦π›πžπ« at selected train stations (locations to be advised) across Klang Valley for a train ride you'll never forget as we head towards a "secret location", where we will all gather with other participants for a lively showcase of Malaysia's heritage β€” from traditional performances and workshops to local food, games, music, dance, laughter & community fun!

Keretapi Sarong is more than an event β€” it’s a symbol of unity in diversity, proudly celebrating what it means to be Malaysian. β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ€πŸ’›

Don't know where to get your sarongs from? Get one from Central Market or Jalan TAR, or night markets, department stores or batik boutiques. Or borrow from a friend (and get them to come along too).

No sarongs - that's fine! Baju kebaya, cheongsam, saree, batik shirt, baju kurung, baju melayu, pareos, kaftans, kurta, Punjabi suits, iban textiles, etc. - take your pick. As long as you bring something cultural, colorful, and Malaysian-inspired, you’ll fit right in. The event is about unity and fun, not strict dress codes β€” you’ll see people in full traditional wear, some in casual batik t-shirts, and others mixing sarongs with sneakers.

Don't miss this event!
