Intermittent rain and inclement of weather did not deter the thousands of spectators and dignitaries from attending the final day of this year’s Sarawak Regatta held at Kuching Waterfront.
This year’s regatta had also attracted the attention of Brunei’s Sultan, Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, and also our governor, Tuan Yang Terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak Tun Pehin Sri Dr. Haji Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar. The presence of the Sultan of Brunei accompanied by our Governor and Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg had underscored the close ties between Sarawak and Brunei.
Their attendance and keen interest had collectively highlighted the importance of preserving the annual regatta as a truly unique tradition. Heartiest congratulations to Yayasan Sarawak’s Puteri Dang Balai team which was crowned the “King of the River” for the third consecutive year. Their victory in the Raja Sungai 30 Men Paddlers category bagged them a cash prize of RM30,000 along with the coveted Head of State Trophy.
