MIRI: The Women’s Section of the Federation of Orang Ulu Association Malaysia ( Forum) will be holding a special dinner gathering at Dynasty Hotel tomorrow.
According to its chairlady who is also a political secretary to the chief minister, Kijan Toynbee, the gathering aimed to celebrate Women’s Day and Gawai Dayak.
“Although International Women’s Day was last March, I believe it is never too late to celebrate the contributions of women around the world,” she said.

“We are expecting about 300 guests that night and we have planned various programmes to make the gathering livelier,” said Kijan.
