An awe-inspiring spectacle of dazzling illuminated drones, vivid laser beams, cultural performances and a majestic ‘kenyalang’ soaring high over Sarawak Stadium captivated an audience of about 40,000 guests at the spectacular opening ceremony of the 21st Malaysia Games here tonight.
This creative showcase of Sarawak’s rich cultural tapestry highlighted the spirit of unity and diversity that defines the state. Highlights included rhythms of the kompang hadrah and gendang and a vibrant lion dance, all meticulously orchestrated by the Sarawak Arts Council. The hoisting of the SUKMA flag was accompanied by an evocative piano and instrumental performance of the Sarawak SUKMA theme song, setting the stage for the oath-taking led by Sarawak diving star Enrique Maccartney Harold.
As this happened, a replica of a giant-sized Hornbill, carried by drones, soared around the stadium, enchanting the crowd, which was later followed by a magnificent fireworks display to end the ceremony.
