Borneo Cultural Festival - Biggest celebratory event in Sarawak

SIBU: Borneo Cultural Festival has become the biggest celebratory event in Sarawak as it continues to attract large crowd to its annual 10-day carnival.

Speaking at the festival grand finale on Sunday at Sibu Town Square, Sibu Municipal Council chairman Datuk Tiong Thai King said last Saturday night alone, there was an estimated crowd of 30,000 people.

On Sunday night, the crowd also numbered around similar figure of 30,000 people.

“Today, Borneo Cultural Festival has become the signature event in Sibu and in Central Sarawak.”

He expected the festive event to be a grander celebration next year because Borneo Cultural Festival 2011 would then celebrate its 10th Anniversary.

“We, therefore, hope that the festival will then be elevated to become a regional and international event,” he enthused.

Towards achieving a bigger dream next year, Tiong said they would immediately plan it right after the celebration this year.

“Let us work to promote our rich cultural assets to the world.”
