SHAH ALAM, April 29 — The state government is optimistic about attracting 70,000 visitors, particularly youths, to the state-level National Youth Day (HBN) 2025 celebration next month.
State executive councillor for youth, sports, and entrepreneurship Mohd Najwan Halimi said the two-day celebration, which will begin on May 17 and adopt a festival concept at KSL Esplanade Mall in Klang, promised a unique experience.
To enliven the HBN festivities, district-level programmes will be held simultaneously across nine districts in Selangor on May 15.
"Carrying the theme 'Yakin Boleh' (Believe We Can), the HBN celebration begins at the district level before culminating in a festival-style event on May 17 and May 18 at KSL Esplanade Mall, Klang.
"This year's highlights include 13 main segments for visitors, such as food and beverage, fashion, sports, and career carnivals,” he said during a press conference today.
Najwan added that Klang was chosen as this year's host for the Selangor-level HBN celebration.
“The celebration will be officiated by Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari, who will also present the Selangor-level National Premier Youth Award (APBN),” he said.
