Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim walked more than 500 metres from the main tent to greet people gathered after Malaysia’s 2026 National Day celebration in Putrajaya.

The spontaneous walk took him to the front of the Ministry of Youth and Sports building, where members of the public shook his hand, spoke with him and took photographs. It followed the departure of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim and Raja Permaisuri Agong Raja Zarith Sofiah at about 10 a.m.

Anwar had earlier met 1,500 participants in the human graphic display and thanked them for their performance. He told them, “Thank you everyone. Alhamdulillah, good show, thank you very much. Great, great show.” The performers responded with applause and cheers.

Before leaving, Anwar gave the group a flying kiss, bowed respectfully and signaled his approval with a thumbs-up. Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil also met and spoke with the participants, who had performed from early morning for dignitaries including the king and queen.

Thank you everyone. Alhamdulillah, good show, thank you very much. Great, great show.
