Over 10,000 participants from 110 contingents took part in the grand parade at Padang Merdeka, Kuching to mark the 79th official birthday celebration of Sarawak’s Head of State, Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar. Many of the contingents’ members had come very early in the morning to prepare themselves for the exciting parade which had also attracted our city folks from throughout Kuching and its vicinities. The contingents which had taken part comprised of representatives from various state and federal uniformed bodies, government agencies, educational institutions, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
Fine weather was also on our side and the three hour long parade went on smoothly and was also televised “live” over official social media channels by Unit Komunikasi Awam Sarawak (UKAS) and TV Sarawak (TVS).
Padang Merdeka had came alive with vibrant colours, music and patriotic spirit during the much awaited parade and all had given their full attention on the royal box as His Excellency Tun Wan Junaidi, accompanied by his wife took the royal salute as participants from government departments, enforcement agencies, statutory bodies, schools, higher learning institutions and community organisations marched past in full ceremonial display.
