Hari Kaamatan and Hari Gawai are meaningful harvest festivals celebrated annually by the people of Sabah and Sarawak. These celebrations honour the rich cultural heritage, traditions, and values that have been passed down through generations while expressing gratitude for a bountiful harvest and the blessings received throughout the year.
At Vision University College, Hari Kaamatan and Hari Gawai serve as an opportunity to celebrate Malaysia’s cultural diversity and strengthen the spirit of unity among students, lecturers, and staff from various backgrounds. As a multicultural institution, Vision University College values the importance of creating an inclusive environment where different cultures, traditions, and celebrations are appreciated and respected.
The vibrant cultures of Sabah and Sarawak are an important part of Malaysia’s identity.
