The Director of Land & Survey Department (LSD), Datu Abdullah Bin Julaihi had dropped by at our office this morning and I had a wonderful surprise of receiving two lovely neckties which was part of the department's corporate gifts.
Datu Abdullah himself is from Kampung Sambir in Asajaya, Samarahan and is staunch football fan. Thus, we spoke a lot on the forthcoming "Sambir Cup" football tournament which is an annual event that is being held at Kampung Sambir as part of the hari raya celebrations for local villagers there.
The event is also one of the oldest football events in Kuching and Samarahan divisions whereby the tradition has been upheld until present day. There are a lot of football teams from outside Asajaya had participated in the exciting event and it is great to see how they have enjoyed taking part just for the fun of it.
The opening match is in a way unique simply because it is held on either the second or third day of hari raya. Apart from looking forward to the traditional house to house visits, the local folks in Kampung Sambir have the opportunity to see their favourite teams compete for top honours in the football tournament.
