Yang Bersusah-payah/Berusaha

Last night,Sunday,11th May,2008,despite the strong winds & rain,the Elimination Round for the Kumang Iban & Keligit contests managed to attract quite a crowd of 'die hard' fans & supporters of the contestants. It was supposed to be held at the Musical Corridor but due to the weather condition,the management kindly let us make use of the ballroom. Thank you to Eastwood. We only need 6 finalists for each category,so to those contestants who did not make it to the final,try again next year.
