I had visited the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) in Pantai Damai, Santubong recently to see for myself on the upgrading works and preparations for the forthcoming annual Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) which is on 28 to 30 June. The concert venue has undergone some upgrading works so as to facilitate better hosting of prominent guests who will also include members of royal families.
The upgrading works had involved the construction of a two-tier seating space for distinguished guests, a separate waiting area for the technicians and performers, as well as new cubicles backstage.
This year's festival is entering it's 27th edition and the concert venue is being upgraded which include the VIP area that was previously confined to a small area but now it is more spacious, and we know that many VVIPs are coming this year.
It seems that the preparations are quite good, with facilities like toilets are all in place. We expect rhe upgrading works to finish in 10 days ahead of the festival. We are delighted that many people want to be a part of this year's festival as it has gained much recognition, both at national and international levels.
Our state and national leaders, even royalties, want to come here and be entertained. Besides that, the line-up of artistes and performances for this year seems very good. I thank all those who had accompanied me during the site visit who include Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) chairman Dato Dennis Ngau, STB chief executive officer Sharzede Salleh Askor, SCV general manager Jane Lian Labang and Hemisphere Corporation Sdn Bhd chief executive Mark Ferguson.
