SHAH ALAM – Karangkraf is set to host Karnival Siang Malam 2025, a massive community event happening over three consecutive days from July 25 at the Karangkraf headquarters in Seksyen 15, here.
This event aims to strengthen community bonds through a vibrant mix of culture, creativity, entertainment and local entrepreneurship.
Sinar Karangkraf chief executive officer Farah Hussamuddin said the carnival is more than just an annual affair, it is a powerful movement that showcases the media’s role as a bridge that connects people from all walks of life.
"We believe the strength of a community begins with shared experiences.
"This carnival serves as a vibrant platform for families, students, educators and local entrepreneurs to come together and share their stories, values and aspirations," she said.
She said with an expected turnout of over 100,000 visitors, the event will feature a wide variety of activities for all age groups, making it one of the largest community gatherings in the Klang Valley.
One of the key goals of the carnival is to bring families together in a fun and relaxed environment, while also giving students a stage to shine through performances and creative competitions, she added.
"We want to create real opportunities for students to showcase their talents, for entrepreneurs to grow and for everyone to embrace a healthier lifestyle and a deeper love for our local culture.
"These are the values we aim to nurture through this event," she said.

From adrenaline-pumping experiences to cultural treats, the carnival will include:
- Giant maze
- Haunted house
- Go-kart rides
- Saloma Market
- Fun fair

Farah added that the event would also present strategic partnership opportunities for corporate sponsors and brands looking to make a meaningful impact on society.
"This isn’t just about entertainment. It’s about building bridges between generations, between cultures and between communities.
"We welcome everyone, from visitors to sponsors to be part of this shared mission. Together, we can spark a stronger spirit of unity and holistic social progress," she said.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, Karangkraf is working closely with enforcement agencies, trained volunteers and a well-organised event team to prioritise visitor safety and comfort.
Beyond just short-term economic benefits for local businesses, this event also aims to ignite a renewed sense of togetherness and national unity, bringing Malaysians of all backgrounds closer through meaningful, shared experiences.
