The Sound of Drums Unites – All Ethnicities Compose a Cultural Symphony

(Miri, 10th) In conjunction with the “Borneo Cultural Carnival 4.0” held at the outdoor parking lot of Miri Boulevard Shopping Mall, the cultural event “Sound of Drums” organized by the Miri Kedayang Association took place last night, attracting enthusiastic participation from people of all ethnic groups, who together experienced the unique charm of Borneo's diverse cultures.

Miri Kedayang Association President Mohamad Abdullah stated that “Borneo Cultural Carnival 4.0: Sound of Drums” is not only a cultural performance, but also an important platform to foster unity among all ethnic groups, inherit cultural heritage, and showcase the diverse cultural features of Sarawak to the younger generation and visitors.

He said that this year's event is themed “Sound of Drums”, symbolizing the rhythm of unity, closely connecting all ethnicities in Sarawak. Although each group has its own drum music culture, when different drum sounds converge on the same stage, they compose a symphony that reflects the harmonious coexistence and unity of the people of Sarawak.

He made this statement during his welcome speech at the “Borneo Cultural Carnival 4.0: Sound of Drums” cultural event held last night at the outdoor parking lot of Boulevard Shopping Mall. The event was hosted by the Miri Kedayang Association.

Abdullah said that tonight's audience enjoyed traditional cultural performances from multiple ethnic groups, including the Kedayang, Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Kayan, as well as the Chinese, Indian, Punjabi, and other communities, fully displaying Borneo’s rich and diverse cultural heritage.

He expressed his hope that “Borneo Cultural Carnival: Sound of Drums” could continue to become an annual cultural event in the future, further promoting exchanges and unity among ethnic groups, boosting cultural tourism, and passing down the precious heritage of ethnic culture from generation to generation.
