KUCHING: Sarawak Dayak Iban Association (Sadia) Kuching branch has issued a reminder that entries for its Solo Ngajat competition will not be entertained after 4pm on Sept 30.
Its branch chairman Datuk Paduka Anthony Nait Mani said entrance fee for the Ngajat competition is RM50 and it is nonrefundable.
The Solo Ngajat competition is opened only to Iban men and women above 18 years old and entry is restricted to those who have not won any competition before, he said in a press statement yesterday.
