SRI AMAN: The Dayak community should make use of the Gawai Dayak festival to showcase and promote their culture and traditions, aside from enhancing racial unity.
“We have a rich culture and traditions that need to be promoted to other races and outsiders,” said Land Development Assistant Minister Datuk Francis Harden.
He pointed out that as the Gawai Dayak is visited by other races and even foreigners, it is the best platform to promote the culture and traditions of the community.
He said this at a Gawai gathering organised by the Sri Aman branch of Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) and the village development and security committee (JKKK) of Entawa Longhouse, Undop, near here.
The gathering held at the longhouse on Friday was also attended by Sri Aman MP Masir Kujat.
Harden said it was important the Dayaks continued to promote their culture and traditions as a way to keep them alive and pass them on to the younger generation.
It would also help to boost the local tourism industry, he added.
