The Malaysia Games Festival (FPM@KL 2024) is making a grand return for its ninth edition, set to take place from 13th to 16th September 2024 at the iconic Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur. This annual event has become a beloved celebration of Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage, coinciding with the national Malaysia Day festivities.
As one of the country’s most awaited festivals, it promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with energy, tradition, and community spirit. Organizers are expecting a large turnout, with more than 150,000 visitors anticipated to attend over the course of the four days. Running from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM daily, FPM@KL 2024 has meticulously curated a program that honors the essence of Malaysia’s cultural diversity.
One of the festival’s standout features is the chance for Malaysians of all ages to reconnect with their roots by participating in traditional games that have been passed down through generations. From games like ‘gasing’ (spinning tops) to ‘congkak’ (a traditional board game), these nostalgic activities offer a unique opportunity for attendees to relive childhood memories while fostering intergenerational bonding. The inclusion of these games not only serves as entertainment but also as a valuable reminder.
