I'm not an official photographer for the even and I'm not allowed to enter the main Vip's section.
Most of the photo below are shoot with my Zuiko lens 70-300mm f4.0-5.6.I'm seating together with the crowd.It was a night of grandeur as the Dayaks showcase their cultural heritage through performances by many ethnic groups in Sarawak.
Themed of the event are"Unity Through Culture and Trdition" or "Perpaduan(Segulai Sajalai)Melalui Kebudayaan".
The Chief Minister of Sarawak .So we are in Sarawak must realise that when we are united and the government stable,we can pursue greater development and prosperity.Bla..bla..bla....the speech last about an hour.
Datuk Shafie Apdal.....the speech last 45 mins ...
The 5,000 capacity Stadium perpaduan at Petra Jaya in Kuching packed in the crowd.
Opening ceremonies by VVIP's.I am sure they can can do the winnowing of padi ...as this is where their come from before become VIP's.
Cultral trope which took to the stage with their traditional dance.
PAK LAH..........The speech last about 45 mins or more.....he stayed on until the closing of the event.
The highlight of the event was a musical drama title "Panglima Kulow"which depicted a Bidayuh warrior o the same name who protected his people at Bung Bratak settlement in the old days.
The Kelabit bamboo band from the Baram region in Northern Sarawak.
The VVIP's.
More than 10 Penan girls dressed in traditional attire came all the way from Suai,Bintulu to join the others in performing before the audience.

That must be one cool event. But looks like there are too many lengthy speeches; that is off-putting.
And oh, I hope our beloved PM didn't talk about beras and minyak during his speech.
Akmal,
Pak Lah.wow..long and winding road ..punya speech tapi langsong tak ungkit pasal Minyak & Beras.Mungkin strategy politic beliau.The event cool alright!!tapi hati panas due to lengthy speech by VVIP's.Same old story itu aje yang mereka cakap.
Ok Akmal..forget it..just hope we can meet & do some window shoping on lenses in KL.
Awang,
I hate long speeches too as it limits the chance to see the performance. Some leaders are plain stupid to think that people love to hear their lengthy speeches. They must learn to read peoples reaction to their speech and cut it short if they see that people lose interest in what they are saying.
Pak Zawi,
Betul tu..fadeup..addressing the VIP's sudah makan masa at least 20 mins e.g Tan Sri,YB's,Datuk & Datin,Puan sri,..menteri ini itu lah....
