About Thanksgiving Carnival
The Thanksgiving Carnival, known as "新山文华公益嘉年华" in Chinese, is a vibrant and community-focused event that used to takes place annually in Johor Bahru. This event is organized by the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Johor Bahru Entrepreneur, in collaboration with various local organizations, to bring together people from different backgrounds to celebrate culture, creativity, and community spirit.
The primary purpose of the Thanksgiving Carnival is to foster a sense of unity and social responsibility within the community. It aims to provide a platform where people can learn, share, and engage in activities that promote cultural appreciation and sustainable development. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), which the event actively supports and promotes.
About JCI JBE
Junior Chamber International Johor Bahru Entreprenuer, also known as JCI JBE. The origin of our association was initiated by the founding president, Datin Kuan of the Junior Chamber, as there were only Chinese-speaking chambers of commerce in Kuala Lumpur and Penang at that time. There was no international junior chamber using Chinese as the medium of communication in the southern region of Malaysia, as many international junior chambers primarily used English.
Therefore, after a year of preparation, our association was finally approved by the Chamber of Commerce Registry in December 2005 and officially announced its establishment and recruitment of junior chamber members in January 2006.
The Chinese community has always played an extremely important role in Malaysia business and economic activities. Today, young Chinese entrepreneurs are emerging like mushrooms after the rain, and the age of starting a business is getting younger and younger. Therefore, the Johor Bahru Wenhua International Junior Chamber focuses on developing business pathways, promoting business exchanges, and nurturing more high-quality youth who fulfill their social responsibilities within the Chinese community.
United Nation Sustainable Development Goals
The Thanksgiving Carnival is deeply committed to supporting the UNSDGs, which include goals such as no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, and more. By incorporating these goals into the event, the carnival not only raises awareness but also inspires actionable change within the community.
