It will then move to Miri Stadium (April 24–26) and Old Airport Bintulu (May 22–24).

The programme is scheduled to conclude at Metrocity, Matang, here from Nov 20 to 22.
The Sarawak Implementation Monitoring Unit (Simu) is working with various ministries, departments and agencies at state and divisional levels to ensure smooth and effective implementation.
The Sarawakku Sayang 2026 Programme reflects the state government’s commitment to ensuring no Sarawakian is left behind in the development agenda, while strengthening social well-being, unity and public confidence.
“This programme is a noble initiative that places emphasis on understanding needs at the grassroots level besides providing a One-Stop Centre platform that brings together government agencies, government-linked companies (GLCs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the private sector.
“Through the platform, people will have the opportunity to access various services including health checks, educational assistance, entrepreneurial opportunities, welfare services and government digital services including payment of utility bills, summonses and land premiums,” said Ukas.
It consists of five major components namely the official ceremony, the main exhibition, the service counters, the entrepreneur sales booths and community activities.
For exhibition, the Sarawak Pavilion features the achievements, implementation and aspirations of the state’s development including road network, water supply and electricity, while the service counters provide various services focusing on health, education, entrepreneurship, welfare and digital and innovation.
On top of that, sales booths, through Sarawak Kitchen, provide an avenue for local entrepreneurs to promote food and handicraft products, while community activities include sports and recreational programmes such as fun runs, folk sports, cultural performances, entertainment and e-contests.
“The three-day programme offers various activities before concluding with a closing ceremony,” it added.
