Visiting 1 Malaysia Cultural Village, Sibu On 14th September, 2013

1 Malaysia Cultural Village was set up partly in response to our government's push for national unity through 1 Malaysia Programme. It is located about 3 km away from Sibu town.

I brought Yian, Allen, Sidney, Pauline and my mother-in-law to this popular small village for a visit in the morning on 14th September, 2013.

We went to a coffee-shop at Dewan Surah Sibu for  our breakfast before we proceeded to 1 Malaysia Cultural Village.

This was our first time to this place and we felt excited going there.

Allen snapped a photo for us. It was nicely shot. Both of us were overweight back in 2013.

Yian looked charming.

 We had a wonderful time at 1 Malaysia Cultural Village.

We enjoyed our visit and found it enriching!

Allen naturally took up the one hour plus  driving job. It was quite a fun driving for one and half hour to Sarikei. Yian said our last trip to Sarikei was more than  13 years ago when I was invited by Senior Citizen Fellowship of Nyelong Park Methodist Church to give a talk on Wednesday,  August 26, 2009 during the fellowship gathering at 7:00pm. The  talk was about  economic outlook.

We reached Sarikei at about 6:20pm and proceeded straight to Grand Palace Empire Restaurant. 

At the entrance on the ground floor,  Yian and I posed for a photo in front of Palace signboard.

Yian also posed for a photo together with Allen and Mabel.

In the restaurant , my sister Ping was there greeting us.
