The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) has etched its name in history by achieving new records in the Malaysia Book of Records, thanks to the overwhelming success of Hari Cuci Malaysia 2024. Held on September 28, this national clean-up event witnessed Malaysians coming together in an extraordinary demonstration of solidarity. These achievements were formally honored today during a Certificate Presentation Ceremony, marking a proud moment for all involved.
What KPKT Achieved in Just One Day
The records set during Hari Cuci Malaysia 2024 include the longest gotong-royong clean-up, lasting a full 12 hours, the largest amount of waste collected in a single event with an astounding 4,645 metric tons, and the largest number of participants, with 58,007 people across Malaysia stepping up to make a difference. These milestones highlight both KPKT’s leadership and the immense dedication of everyday Malaysians who worked together for a cleaner, greener future..
Hari Cuci Malaysia 2024 wasn’t just a clean-up event; it was a statement of how much we can achieve when we come together. Organized by KPKT and led by YB Nga Kor Ming, this event saw Malaysians from every corner of the country rolling up their sleeves to join in. From PPR Seri Semarak in Kuala Lumpur to smaller rural communities, the nation worked as one to tackle waste and show a strong commitment to environmental action.
The sheer scale of the event is what made these records possible. Over 649 locations across Malaysia participated in this national clean-up effort, making it a truly collaborative endeavor. This collective effort didn’t just exceed expectations; it set a new bar for what Malaysia can accomplish in the fight against environmental pollution.
Celebrating the Success of Hari Cuci Malaysia 2024
In his speech, YB Nga Kor Ming praised the efforts of all involved, from local governments to everyday volunteers, acknowledging that these records are a reflection of what Malaysians can achieve when they work together. “It’s a symbol of our nation’s commitment to sustainability and the power of community action,” said the minister.
The success of Hari Cuci Malaysia 2024 wouldn’t have been possible without the significant contributions from various states. Negeri Sembilan led the charge by collecting a massive 1,266 metric tons of waste, followed closely by Pahang with 827 metric tons, and Perak with 615 metric tons. These numbers highlight the local dedication and hard work that made this event such a success.
A Cleaner Malaysia, Led by KPKT
While breaking these records is an impressive feat, KPKT and YB Nga Kor Ming are determined to ensure the momentum doesn’t stop here. Hari Cuci Malaysia is now set to become an annual event, officially held on the last Saturday of September each year. The hope is that this tradition will inspire future generations to take pride in keeping Malaysia clean, fostering a sense of responsibility that encourages everyone to contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for years to come.
This initiative fits perfectly with Malaysia’s broader Madani vision, focusing on long-term sustainability, social welfare, and the well-being of future generations. By encouraging regular, nationwide clean-up efforts, KPKT aims to create a culture of responsibility and environmental stewardship among all Malaysians.
A Brighter Future Awaits
This year’s Hari Cuci Malaysia and the new records it set in the Malaysia Book of Records have shown us what’s possible when we unite for a common cause. As we look ahead, the hope is that this spirit of collaboration will continue to grow.
Let’s keep this momentum going. Malaysia is our home, and it’s up to all of us to keep it clean. Whether you join next year’s Hari Cuci Malaysia or make small changes in your daily life, every effort counts. Together, we’re creating a cleaner, greener Malaysia.
