Meanwhile a group, comprising of around 40 talented and promising young individuals, ranging from eight to 24 years of age, are also actively participating in cultural dance shows backed by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sports.

Their roles and participations have been seen in a number of major events in the country and overseas like Apec 2000, Anugerah Radio for 2001-2002, Sukma Irama 2002 in Singapore, annual National Day celebrations, Commonwealth Gala Night 2003 and Tarik Kalat Borneo 2003.

With the support from the ministry, these lucky individuals are also able to expose their talents overseas in programmes such as the Festival of Arts in Kuala Lumpur, Cambodia, China as well as Japan. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
