PENAMPANG DISTRICT BAMBOO RAFT FESTIVAL 2016 AT MAHANDOI PART 1


Hi to everyone, these are some photos I managed to take on 25th September between Kg Kuai and Kg Mahandoi.  I will have to break my blogs into two parts because it is difficult to upload all the pics at once.

Before that let me quote the most important advice from our Tourism Minister in his opening speech for this First District Level Decorated Bamboo Raft Festival, which was started by CLEAR 5 years ago.

Masidi said,  "We should not be ashamed of being poor, but we should be ashamed if we do nothing to get out of poverty"

Classic !
