The participants, from all races and ages, proudly wear batik sarongs and kain pelekat to symbolise the country’s culture and heritage.
Some of the participants wearing sarongs and kain pelekat come together at Dataran Merdeka after taking the LRT and MRT as part of the Keretapi Sarong 2023 programme.
They proved that there is nothing shameful in donning traditional attire, complete with various ethnic ornaments. It was like a trip down memory lane as KS 2023, themed “Ethnicity and Unity”, was also jazzed up with a sarong fashion show, a flash mob and joget lambak, complete with the tunes from the 1960s and 1970s filling the air.
The Keretapi Sarong was first introduced by an NGO, Random Alphabet, in 2012 before being taken over by Locco in 2017, involving thousands of participants travelling on public transport wearing either batik or pelikat sarongs.
