KAPIT: All are welcome to participate in the various activities lined up in conjunction with the Christmas Concert at Kapit Town Square from Dec 2-3.

Planned activities include a recording by Radio Television Malaysia ( RTM) Sarawak of children celebrating Christmas in Kapit on Dec 2 which will be broadcast on TV at a later date; a mass aerobic exercise followed by ‘Jelajah SibuFM’ on the morning of Dec 3; and a rehearsal for the concert in the afternoon.

The event is organised by the Kapit Resident Office in collaboration with RTM Sarawak and is sponsored by Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr James Jemut Masing who is also the Minister of Infrastructure Development and Transportation.

Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi is expected to officiate at the Christmas Concert which will feature six Iban recording artistes and a comedian to entertain the crowd.

Organising chairman Kapit Resident Joseph Belayong recently thanked the various government agencies for supporting the event.

The concert, amongst others, aims to enhance rapport between state, federal government agencies and RTM Sarawak through the smart partnership concept in organising activities for the benefit of the people, as well as to provide entertainment and disseminate information to the local community.

It is also to recognise and show appreciation to the diverse ethnic groups in Kapit for their continuous support towards RTM while at the same time, heeding the government’s call towards achieving the respective government agencies’ Key Performance Index ( KPI).
