During the weekend of 1st
September 2012, I went to Sarikei for its annual Pineapple Festival. The venue
for the event was in front of the Sarikei district council office. In addition
to the main stage where there was a Ngajat competition (among others), there
was also an extended pasar malam around the premises.
To be honest there was hardly any
pineapple at all despite its name. The only pineapples were to be found at a
decoration near the main stage and the big concrete one by the river (which is
there all year round anyway). So, in that sense, the festival was quite a disappointment.
They might as well call it Sarikei
Chicken BBQ Festival. There were certainly more of those than there were pineapples...
If you look hard enough, you can
actually see the pineapples
