Children's Day is celebrated in Malaysia every last Saturday of October, with the next observance on October 25, 2025. This important holiday was first celebrated in 1959 and has consistently fallen on the last Saturday of October since its inception. The Malaysian government organizes various events at both national and state levels to honor childhood and children, including a special ceremony in Kuala Lumpur where outstanding children receive awards. The President of Malaysia addresses children and their parents in a solemn speech, marking the official commencement of the festivities. Over the last decade, Malaysia has made significant strides in improving children's well-being through health programs, including immunization and sanitation initiatives, which have contributed to a decline in the mortality rate among children under five. However, challenges remain, and the government continues to focus on addressing existing issues related to children's health and welfare.
