IT WAS an exciting and boisterous Sunday for the family of Datu Seri Lela Haji Samat bin Sahap, as roughly 400 people comprising direct and extended family members took part in the Family Fest event held at Sultan Sharif Ali Secondary School in Kampong Salambigar recently.
A senior member of the family, Haji Garip bin Datu Seri Lela Haji Samat, said that the event was part of a project to enhance ties between their extended family members.
The day of fun began with a welcoming speech from the event’s chairman Haji Hamidi bin Haji Salleh, followed by the event’s official launch by advisor, Haji Gharif.
The featured activities included a tug-of-war, balloon race, bottle-fishing and bowling, among many others.
Singing sessions and a lucky draw were also held to make the event merrier and more enjoyable for the family members.
Prior to this fest, the family had also organised an educational trip to Wasai Wong Kadir Recreational Park in Labi and presented donations – made up of contributions accumulated from Datu Seri Lela Haji Samat bin Sahap’s extended family members – to less fortunate members of society.
The fun day was the first such event to be held by Datu Seri Lela Haji Samat’s family, and they also indicated that they are planning to hold similar activities in the near future.
