"We will also hold the 2025 Unity Week Celebration at the MITC grounds tonight as a 'warm-up’ before the main event tomorrow,” he told reporters at the MITC here today.

Zaimy added that one of the highlights of this year's celebration is the diverse range of delicacies served, representing different ethnic groups and states, including Sabah and Sarawak.
