Sabah Hosts National Unity Week

Sabah hosts the 2026 National Unity Week in June 2026. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor said that the Sabah Government remains committed to unity and harmony.

“We uphold Malaysia MADANI in its aspiration for well-being, compassion, mutual respect and sustainability as the basis for strong unity and shared prosperity,” Hajiji said on 13 June 2026 at the National Unity Week celebration at the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex, Likas.

“We have a genuine spirit of belonging and togetherness as one big Malaysian family, living in unity and harmony. Sabah being hon oured as host in 2026 is a recognition of the Sabah way of life, where harmony and togetherness have long been embraced as a cherished heritage passed down through generations. We also see our brothers and sisters from Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak here, as guests and members of one big Malaysian family.” The Chief Minister called on everyone to reflect on and redefine the meaning of unity as preparation for a more challenging future.

Unity requires concrete action, continuous commitment, sincerity, mutual respect and, most importantly, the assurance of socio-economic justice and equality for every region, Hajiji said. “We can only be truly strong and resilient when everyone is genuinely valued, protected and treated in a fair and equitable manner,” Hajiji added. “We must continue to preserve harmony, appreciate ethnic and religious diversity, and strengthen the spirit of goodwill.”
