Well done and congratulations to the organizers of the recent “Taste of Borneo Carnival” held in Miri which had received overwhelming response from our folks and also those who came from other parts of Sarawak. The organizers had also succeeded in having participants from abroad including a dance group from Sabah and Jakarta, Indonesia who had met me at the closing of the event held last Saturday.
Thumbs up also to the organizers for having successfully organised the "Most Ethnic Crafts Displayed In An Event" program which had featured dozens of participants at the exhibition booths and had entered the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR). Over 10,000 visitors had attended the first night of the annual event held at the parking lot of the Boulevard commercial centre in Miri.
The cultural street parade was also held in conjunction with the event was participated 500 people, comprising members of 20 ethnic associations. The event had entered its third edition and it was the first time the Miri divisional level inter-secondary school cultural dance competition was being organised in conjunction with this year’s carnival. Through the event, our younger generation especially students can gain a deeper understanding and respect for Sarawak’s diverse cultural heritage, while at the same time gain valuable social interaction and teamwork spirit.
