KUCHING: The Rainforest World Craft Bazaar on July 13 to 15 is a platform for young local talents to show their creativity and skills.
According to Minister of Tourism Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg, this golden opportunity should not be missed by local talents to gauge the marketability of their products.
“At the end of the day, we want to see what these young designers have gained from the bazaar,” said Abang Johari during a site visit to the bazaar at Sarawak Cultural Village yesterday.
He also said that a roadmap for the bazaar with the participation of young designers had been created and would be kept in close tabs, backed by a sound coffer.
He also hoped that the young designers would be able to find their niche designs made up of local and sustainable materials.
Abang Johari, who is also Satok assemblyman, said the young people should look up to Datuk Jimmy Choo who had managed to break into the international market and claim fame through celebrities and influential figures.
Foreign exhibitors participating in the bazaar include those from Indonesia, Laos, Uzbekistan, Africa and Korea.
“Each country has its own originality in product design and this international bazaar would also see each one of them conducting workshops on ways to bring life to their products,” said Abang Johari.
With the participation of foreign exhibitors, Abang Johari hoped that this would influence the minds of local designers in meeting international standards before venturing into the production phase.
