Borneo Cultural Festival begins with 15,000 enjoying various events

THE increasingly-popular Borneo Cultural Festival (BCF) 2010 in Sibu kicked off last Friday night with at least 15,000 people cramming the Town Square to witness a host of simultaneous events.

Apart from three specially-erected stages, one each for the Chinese, Dayak and Malay-Melanau communities to present cultural performances nightly during the nine-day celebration, there are more than 100 stalls selling food and handicraft of the various communities.
