Kuching South City Council aims for Malaysia Book of Records with senior citizen Zumba event

The Majlis Bandaraya Kuching Selatan (MBKS) will host the Kuching Zumba Fiesta on 8 August 2026 at the State Hockey Stadium, seeking a Malaysia Book of Records title for the largest number of senior citizens taking part in a Zumba session. Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said the event is meant to demonstrate that age is not a barrier to an active, healthy lifestyle and to promote an age‑friendly city. He urged seniors to join, noting, “I believe we can break the record because Sarawakians can do it.”

The Zumba Fiesta is part of the annual Kuching Festival’s Folk Dance Display, which has run for over 20 years and showcases community participation across cultural and recreational programmes aimed at keeping older residents engaged and healthy.
