Iban Concert

My family watched the first Iban concert for 2007 in Miri last Saturday night. Judging by the crowd, the concert lack marketing and publicity. The organiser did promote the concert over Miri FM and Cats FM, but the drive didn’t reach the local Miri audience (obviously). No banners are found in Iban populated area like Tudan Resettlement Scheme, E-Mart, Taman Tunku and Lambir.

Hopefully, the next event will take into matter this few marketing points.

Trip to Lubok Antu

Rh. Sandah, Sungai Ara, Lubok Antu

The oldest man of Sungai Ara, Jangga Ak Manggin.

Rumah panjai Pudai, Lubok Antu, where I spent the night.

Batang Ai Dam, Lubok Antu

Another scene of Batang Ai Dam.

Cheryl taking her very first boat ride towards one of the cage where fish is being rear.

Red talapia ready for consumption.

Anna, Cheryl’s cousin from Nanga Mutok, Layar.

The newly built resthouse at the Batang Ai Dam.

I guess the Lubok Antu District Council need to work on the bylaw to curb this scene on the five foot way. It’s certainly not a good sight for tourist during the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 campaign.

Pig for dinner….. anyone?

Folks of rumah Pudai helping out with the preparation of the pig.

The women too….

Thank you to all the residents of rumah Pudai and Sungai Ara for the warm hospitality during my family stay with them.
