Sekinchan Paddy Field Festival 2026 to draw 15,000 tourists

Selangor is rolling out the red carpet for tourists with the Sekinchan Paddy Field Festival 2026, a vibrant showcase of our state's rich agricultural heritage and natural beauty. This event is more than just a festival; it's a strategic move to bolster our agro-tourism sector and reinforce Selangor's position as a must-visit destination.

As highlighted by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, Selangor is committed to economic resilience through the promotion of domestic tourism. The Second Selangor Plan (RS2) guides our efforts to foster inclusive and sustainable growth, focusing on economic development, infrastructure, and the well-being of our people. The festival embodies this vision, offering a unique blend of cultural experiences, outdoor activities like the Paddy Field Run, and a taste of local delicacies from 35 vendors under the Selangor Platform (PLATS).

Selangor komited memastikan ketahanan ekonomi dengan menggalakkan pelancongan domestik. Melangkah ke hadapan, menerusi Rancangan Selangor Kedua (RS2), negeri ini akan terus memperkukuh pertumbuhan ekonomi, pembangunan infrastruktur, mobiliti kesejahte­raan rakyat melalui pendekatan yang inklusif dan mampan.

This initiative, now in its second year, underscores our dedication to showcasing Selangor not just as a hub of modern development but as a state deeply connected to its roots. Datuk Ng Suee Lim, the State Executive Councillor for Tourism and Local Government, emphasized that the festival is integral to the Sabak Bernam Tourism Zone (Wilayah Pembangunan Sabak Bernam). We want the world to see the authentic Selangor – a place of serene paddy fields, stunning sunsets, and rich cultural traditions, complementing our bustling urban centers.

From a local perspective, this festival is a vital opportunity to celebrate and preserve our agricultural landscape, which is increasingly overshadowed by rapid urbanization. It provides a platform for local communities and businesses to thrive, offering visitors an immersive experience that connects them with the land and its people. This is the Selangor that we are proud to share, a testament to our commitment to sustainable tourism and the preservation of our unique heritage.

Kita mahu Selangor bukan sahaja dikenali sebagai ne­geri pesat membangun dengan bandar-bandar moden, tetapi juga sebagai negeri yang kaya dengan warisan, desa, keindahan alam semula jadi.
