Adding to the significance of the occasion, the event will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, with distinguished guests including Penang Governor Tun Ramli Ngah Talib, Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya, and Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas in attendance.
