It was a sold out concert at the recent "Boney M 50th Anniversary Tour 2025" which was held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). For the 4,000 concert-goers who were there, it was a night of nostalgia as they danced along to the funky disco beats and sang the lyrics as the band performed, led by original band member Maizie Williams with Kelly Rahman, Samantha Scott, and Doreen Patel.
They had brought disco back to Kuching and throughout the night, Boney M delighted concert-goers with hits like ‘Rasputin’, which experienced a surge in popularity thanks to TikTok, and ‘Daddy Cool’—cementing their global status as disco legends.
I was also present at the concert together with my wife as it was the ministry’s first event of the year in 2025. It is a great start for the State’s tourism, our ministry and the event organisers. With the support of the Sarawak government and adequate funding for more events, I am optimistic that the State’s target of five million visitors for 2025 is achievable.
The targeted number of visitors for 2025 could generate an estimated RM10 billion in revenue of tourism receipts for the State. Therefore, kudos to all the agencies under our ministry for their efforts in promoting Sarawak regionally and internationally. I believe that with continued hard work, we will reach our target of five million visitors this year. This year we also have a new airline, which should help us reach our goal.
