SIBU – Preparations are accelerating for the upcoming Sibu Divisional X-Tive Sarawak 2025 Programme, which will be held on 13–14 September 2025 at Dataran Tun Tuanku Bujang, Sibu.
The large-scale community sports and recreation event is being positioned as a prelude to the Borneo Games 2025, scheduled for 24–28 September.
The organisational work was reviewed during the Sibu Divisional X-Tive 2025 Coordination Meeting at the Sibu Resident’s Office earlier this week.
Chairing the session, Sibu Divisional Resident Abang Mohamad Porkan stressed the importance of cooperation among agencies and community organisations to ensure smooth execution.
“The Sibu Division is expected to play a key role in this initiative. Its success will depend on the cooperation and synergy of all parties involved,” he said.
The two-day programme will feature five main highlights: Zumba, an I Love Malaysia Run, a Chipping Competition, a Tug of War contest, and a Strongman event.
To complement the sports activities, visitors can also look forward to food and beverage stalls, handicraft showcases by the Sibu Division Entrepreneur Development Council (MPUB), and the lively Sibu Car Boot Sale.
Among those present at the planning session were Sibu Division MySED Officer Pet Leh Hung @ Christine, Head of the Social Transformation Section at the Sibu Resident’s Office, Nursyarmilla Jeruis, along with heads and deputy heads of federal and state agencies.
The programme will be officially launched by Deputy Minister of Education, Innovation and Talent Development and Nangka State Assemblyman, Datuk Dr Annuar Rapaee.
Organisers expect strong community participation, reflecting the state’s ongoing push to promote active lifestyles, unity, and social transformation through recreational events.
