KUCHING: The Orang Ulu in Sarawak consists of as many as 23 sub-ethnic communities.

As a tribute to these communities, MakanMakan draws its focus to the rich culture that the Orang Ulu brings to the table.

As the first of their annual MakanMakan events of the year, Yayasan Perpaduan Sarawak (YPS)

and Sarawak Development Institute (SDI), together with The Champions are organising MakanMakan Sarawak: Pesta Orang Ulu this 25 August 2018, at the Dayak Bidayuh National Association premises from 10.00am to 10.00pm.

MakanMakan is a cultural-culinary sharing aimed at learning and experiencing the diverse culture,

practices and traditions of the many ethnic groups within the Orang Ulu community. The ticketed

dinner, a highlight of every MakanMakan will run from 7.00pm to 10.00pm, serving up a plethora

of authentic Orang Ulu cuisines that will keep you coming back for more.

YPS and its partners seek to provide a communal platform which invites all Sarawakians and

non-Sarawakians to learn and understand more about one another’s food culture while fostering stronger cross-cultural understanding and acceptance. There will be a free cultural exhibition

open to the public from 10.00am to 5.00pm which will feature food demonstrations, explanations

of cultural practices, and various workshops showcasing the Orang Ulu traditions where guests

can participate in.

The collaborative partners for the event are the Ministry of Welfare, Community Wellbeing,Women, Family and Childhood Development; Majlis Adat Istiadat Sarawak (MAIS); The Federation

of Orang Ulu Malaysia (FORUM); Sarawak Cultural Village; Friends of Sarawak Museum (FoSM)

and Kuching In & Out (KINO), that have been working very closely with the organisers to ensure the authenticity and the accuracy of the information shared during MakanMakan, as well as

showcasing various cultural elements of the Orang Ulu ethnic group.
