The beauty of Malaysia's multicultural traditional arts is showcased through five (5) performances rich in aesthetic values in the Traditional Arts Showcase 2025 (PST2025). This program is not just a performance but also serves as a learning platform for art and cultural groups or associations to understand and master the aspects of producing a performance.

This aligns with the Strategic Thrust of the National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN), which aims to enhance the accessibility of arts and culture services to the community, thereby contributing to the well-being of the people.
