BUNG Bratak Day, a cultural festival celebrated by Sarawak’s Bidayuh community, returned after a three-year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The celebration took place on May 1 at the Bidayuhs’ ancient hilltop settlement of Bung Bratak, where a heritage centre now stands, near Kampung Tembawang Sauh on the Bau-Lundu road, about 54km from Kuching.
