The Bandar Bintulu Branch of SDNU is organizing a Gawai Dayak Celebration tonight (9th May) in Bintulu.

Sibu

The SDNU Rejang Branch has organized an “Office Bearers Installation Night” in Sibu tonight (9th May). Due to prior commitment to attend Gawai Dinner in Bintulu, SDNU President Mr. Mengga Mikui will not be attending the Rejang Branch Installation night.

However, in his place, a Supreme Executive Council Lawyer Chambai will be representing SDNU HQ at the installation night.

SDNU Gawai Dayak Dinner in Kuching

The Gawai Dayak dinner in Kuching will be held on 16th May at the Christian Multi-centre. The theme or the dinner is “Unity through Culture”. A special cultural programme has been arranged with participation from our friends in Kalimantan. It will truly be a Dayak Cultural Night – but without Kumang and Keling Gawai.

It is expected that our Kadazan Dusun friends from Sabah will also be coming both to attend the dinner and contribute their performance towards the cultural events.

Tickets

For Kuching Gawai – a hundred tables (100) has been planned. The latest status is only 20 tables are available. Meaning 80 tables has been sold out. All the $700 and $600 tables has been sold out. The remaining tables are priced at $500 and $450 respectively.

Those interested to get a table will need to contact the  SDNU Executive Secretary Mr. Spencer Birai – Hp number 0138080433.

As the Gawai Dayak season is approaching – I would like to take this opportunity to wish every one in Dayakbaru SELAMAT GAWAI DAYAK GAYU GURU GERAI NYAMAI SERTA LANTANG SENANG NGUAN MENOA.
