Hari Cuci Malaysia 2026 targets 200,000 participants and 28,000kg of recyclables in a single day, says Nga Kor Ming

Hari Cuci Malaysia 2026 aims to involve 200,000 people nationwide and collect 28,000 kilogrammes of recyclable items in one day.

The initiative has set past records, including largest participation and extensive waste collection, and now partners with the Education Ministry for wider school involvement.

The government reinforces waste management through the 9R approach and mandates recycling facilities in shopping centres, urging community cooperation for national cleanliness.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — Some 200,000 people are targeted to participate in Hari Cuci Malaysia (HCM) 2026 nationwide, with 28,000 kilogrammes of recyclable items expected to be collected in a single day.

Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the targets were set to maintain the momentum of HCM, which has gained increasing public participation since its introduction in 2024.

“The target is not merely about breaking records, but reflects the breadth of public participation and the strength of the cleanliness movement that we are building together,” he told reporters after launching HCM 2026 at Pasar Taman Sri Gombak here today.

As of 9 am today, more than 95,000 people had registered online for the programme, excluding participating school students, involving 469 locations nationwide.

Nga said HCM set three Malaysia Book of Records achievements in 2024, including the largest simultaneous participation of 58,007 people, the collection of 4,645 tonnes of waste in a day and a continuous operation from 8 am to 8 pm.

Last year, the programme made history again with more than 100,000 people participating simultaneously, while more than 27,600 kilogrammes of used cooking oil were collected in a single day, setting a record for the largest collection of used cooking oil.

For the first time this year, the Education Ministry (MOE) is a strategic partner of HCM, involving 10,000 schools nationwide.

The ministry has also recognised HCM activities under the physical fitness, sports and co-curricular assessment (PAJSK), encouraging greater participation among young people in efforts to foster a culture of cleanliness.

Nga said the government was also strengthening the solid waste management agenda through the 9R approach: Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle and Recover.

He stressed that efforts to instil a culture of cleanliness should begin at school to encourage responsible use of resources.

HCM is also part of the Madani Government’s public cleaning reform agenda, including the implementation of Community Service Orders for littering offences from January this year.

“As of National Day this year, 15,678 compounds or cleaning offence notices had been issued, while 599 individuals had been ordered by the courts to carry out cleaning work, including sweeping roads, cleaning drains and toilets,” he said.

Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 shopping centres nationwide are required to provide recycling collection facilities from this year to ensure valuable resources can be recovered and reused.

Nga said maintaining cleanliness was not solely the responsibility of the authorities but required the participation of the entire community to keep Malaysia clean and prosperous. — Bernama

2026 年马来西亚清洁日活动旨在吸引全国 20 万人参与，并在一天内收集 28,000 公斤可回收物品。

该计划已创下多项纪录，包括参与人数最多和垃圾收集范围最广，现在正与教育部合作，以扩大学校的参与范围。

政府通过 9R 方法加强废物管理，并强制要求购物中心设立回收设施，敦促社区合作，共同维护国家清洁。

吉隆坡，9月26日讯——预计全国将有约20万人参与2026年马来西亚清洁日（Hari Cuci Malaysia，简称HCM），预计一天内将收集28000公斤可回收物品。

房屋及地方政府部长倪可敏表示，设定这些目标是为了保持住房条件改善计划（HCM）的势头，该计划自2024年推出以来，已获得越来越多的公众参与。

“这个目标不仅仅是打破纪录，而是体现了公众参与的广度和我们正在共同建立的清洁运动的力量，”他今天在斯里贡巴花园市场启动2026年胡志明市清洁运动后告诉记者。

截至今天上午 9 点，已有超过 95,000 人在线注册参加该计划（不包括参与的在校学生），该计划涉及全国 469 个地点。

Nga表示，胡志明市在2024年创造了三项马来西亚纪录大全的成就，包括58007人同时参与人数最多、一天内收集4645吨垃圾以及从早上8点到晚上8点连续运营。

去年，该计划再次创造了历史，超过 10 万人同时参与，一天之内收集了超过 27600 公斤的废弃食用油，创下了废弃食用油收集量的最高纪录。

今年，教育部首次成为 HCM 的战略合作伙伴，涉及全国 10,000 所学校。

该部还认可了 HCM 在体能、体育和课外活动评估 (PAJSK) 方面的活动，鼓励年轻人更多地参与到培养清洁文化的努力中。

Nga表示，政府也在通过9R方法加强固体废物管理议程：拒绝、重新思考、减少、再利用、修理、翻新、再制造、重新利用、回收和恢复。

他强调，培养清洁卫生的习惯应该从学校开始，以鼓励学生负责任地使用资源。

HCM也是马达尼政府公共清洁改革议程的一部分，其中包括从今年1月起对乱扔垃圾的违法行为实施社区服务令。

他说：“截至今年国庆日，已发出15678张罚款或清洁违规通知单，另有599人被法院勒令进行清洁工作，包括清扫道路、清理排水沟和厕所。”

与此同时，全国近1000家购物中心从今年起必须提供回收收集设施，以确保宝贵资源能够被回收再利用。

恩加表示，保持清洁并非仅仅是当局的责任，而是需要整个社会的共同参与，才能使马来西亚保持清洁繁荣。——马新社
