Niti Daun Debuts in Bintulu, Set to Become Annual Gawai Highlight 🌿
The inaugural Niti Daun programme was such a huge success that it’s now becoming a permanent fixture in the annual Gawai Dayak calendar! 🗓️✨The colourful event at Bintulu Esplanade drew over 3,000 registered participants from 73 teams — and that’s not even counting the many others who joined informally, including government departments, longhouse JKKs, clubs, associations, and students from across the district. 🙌
Deputy Minister for Infrastructure and Port Development, Datuk Majang Renggi, said the overwhelming response shows the strong community spirit and unity among Bintulu residents.
"This is the first programme of its kind, made possible through close collaboration between the district office and various government agencies," he shared after leading the lively Niti Daun procession at Bintulu Market.
The event featured stunning cultural highlights, including:
🥁 A traditional pampat drum performance
🌾 A sacred miring ritual
🏆 Prize presentations to winning teams
According to Majang, who is also the Samalaju assemblyman, the programme promotes a healthy lifestyle while strengthening unity among Bintulu’s multi-ethnic communities — all in the true spirit of Gawai Dayak.
👏 Here’s to more meaningful, community-driven celebrations ahead!
