Selamat Hari Sarawak 2026
Today, we commemorate Sarawak Day, marking 22 July 1963, when Sarawak attained Self-Government, a significant constitutional milestone in our journey towards the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963.
Historical records, including contemporary newspapers and official government publications, consistently recognise 22 July 1963 as Sarawak Self-Government Day. During this period, Sir Alexander Waddell continued to serve as the Governor of Sarawak until 15 September 1963, reflecting the constitutional and administrative framework that remained in place under British governance. This understanding is also consistent with the public statements of His Excellency Tun Pehin Sri Dr. Haji Wan Junaidi bin Tuanku Jaafar, Governor of Sarawak.
As we honour this important chapter of our history, let us also reflect on the values that define Sarawak; unity, mutual respect, resilience, and a shared commitment to progress. Our diversity has always been our greatest strength, and it is through collaboration, integrity, and dedicated service that we will continue to build a Sarawak that is inclusive, resilient, and prosperous.
As citizens of this remarkable land, each of us has a role to play in safeguarding our heritage while embracing innovation and opportunities that will benefit future generations. May we continue to work together with sincerity and purpose to realise the aspirations of 'Sarawak Maju Makmur', ensuring that development is sustainable, equitable, and leaves no community behind.
On this meaningful occasion, let us renew our commitment to serving our communities, strengthening social harmony, and contributing to the continued growth and prosperity of our beloved Sarawak.
Honouring our past. Celebrating our identity. Shaping our future.
Selamat Hari Sarawak.
