KOTA KINABALU: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) will commemorate and celebrate Sabah Day in Keningau on Aug 31.

Its President Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the event, which coincides Malaysia National Day, will be co-organised by Star youth and non-governmental organisation Gerakan Rakyat Sabah.

“Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the gazettement of Sabah Day in time for it to be commemorated this year,” he said in a statement, Sunday.

“However, we are working hard to ensure that the move to gazette this day as Sabah Day is completed in time for next year’s celebration.

“It is doable, and it should be done. If Sarawak can accomplish it, why can’t Sabah? We also have our own Sabah Day, just like Sarawak has their own Sarawak Day.”

The Deputy Chief Minister said this year’s Sabah Day would include a two-week long Independence Walk throughout Sabah, a video competition, a best slogan competition and even a concert.
