Labuan Harvest Festival 2006

Labuan Harvest Festival 14 May 06

It was Saturday and I just woke up about noon. Then I remembered I have to be at Manikar Beach Resort for the Labuan Harvest Festival organised by KDCA. So I went with my housemate.We reached the resort about 2pm and the place was packed with people. The celebration was mainly (to me) to pick a Labuan beauty queen (Unduk Ngadau). The Labuan Unduk Ngadau will represent Labuan in the main Harvest Festival in Kota Kinabalu on 27th May 2006.

So, we all wait for the big shots to arrive. A big entourage of big bikers paraded their bikes and the Labuan head honcho (Dato' Suhaili) came in his 3 cycle. That was a laugh.

Then everyone adjourned to the hall which was air conditioned. The hall was quite packed with people. The program was mundane and dry. I was told the event was not really publicised as previous years.

There was a few minor exhibitions such as below.

The Festival booklet was packed with sponsorship pages and little else. The only useful information I get was this Kadazandusun category. It says that the Kadazandusun has 4 main tribes; Murut, Dusun,Paitan & Rungus. Each tribes has their own sub-tribes.

You may notice I do not have the Unduk Ngadau pictures because I left early. I heard whoever the current winner is will face a tough competition in KK.

So much for Sunday.
