THE ‘Bah Kemari Tah’ expo was launched yesterday at the STKRJ Kampong Lorong 3 Selatan in Seria. More than 12 local booths have been set up around the field in STKRJ Lorong 3 Selatan selling products such as clothing, food, drinks and more.
It was hosted by the Village Consultative Council (MPK) of STKRJ Lorong 3 Selatan, with the support of the Belait District Office and Kuala Belait and Seria Municipal Department.
The aim was to encourage the local communities to liven up the surrounding area as well as gathering funds for the MPK.
In an interview, Hassan bin Haji Masri, Secretary from the MPK STKRJ Kampong Lorong 3 Selatan, mentioned that the expo consisted of a variety of booths besides activities for friends and family.
“Over the past several years, very few events were organised here and hosting this event will enliven the community,” added Hassan. It is hoped that the event will draw people to visit and support local businesses as well as the MPK.
