Speaking to the reporters after officiating at the Sarawak Regatta — Kuching Waterfront Festival today, Abang Johari said this year’s International Dragon Boat Regatta received an overwhelming response with 60 teams from 20 countries. “Therefore, next year, there is a possibility that once the acquisition of MASwings is completed, we want to offer special chartered flights so that we can bring in these international participants for the dragon boat race and also promote Sarawak,” he said.Abang Johari explained that the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts had to limit the number of international participants for this year’s event due to flight constraints.
This year’s three-day International Dragon Boat Regatta began yesterday, while the Sarawak Regatta will be held on November 3-5. Other activities to be held during the Sarawak Regatta include the Sarawak Kitchen Festival and Borneo Textile Craft Sale, cultural performances, and Sarawak Malay Drum Competition. — Borneo Post
