END OF DAM “NGAJAT CLASS” FOR 2010

DAM (Dayak Association Miri) has taken a big effort to promote the iban traditional culture to the young generations in conducting “ngajat class”. It started 2 or 3 years ago (can't recall), and last Sunday, 24th October 2010 @ Mega Hotel, 5th Floor the Ngajat Class for this year ends. There were 56 students who completed the “ngajat class” and were presented with Certificate by the DAM President Mr Ellison Ludan. The President stressed that DAM will be continuing to conduct the “ngajat class” in the coming years.
“Pengelandik ngajat tu deka dikerembai ngam­bika iya enda puntan dibai ubah pemansang. Kitai berasai temegah laban kenyau ari kelas tu dibuka suba, mayuh amat nembiak udah mandangka pengerindu ba pengawa nya. Ari kelas ngajat ke baka tu, siti ari jalai ke dikena nyungkak pengerindu raban nembiak ba pen­gawa main asal, kelimpah ari jaku, pengelandik ngajat tu nyadika batang kelai ke mandangka penyelai bansa Iban”, ko speech Mr Ellison Ludan.

Organising Chairlady for the Ngajat Class 2010 was Madam Roseline Minggang and was monitored by DAM Chairlady Madam Jacqueline Selaka (dress in white blouse, begambar enggau bala komiti-komiti DAM and binix2 pengabang ke bisi datai). Laban aku ke nganjung cousin aku ke bisi enggau "ngajat class", tumu meh aku datai, sempat ga meda sida begari, enda senang ka beradu ngena ngepan kitai iban.

Nah, bangsa bukai, baka Orang indu ari menua semanjung bisi kia, nya sida madah rindu amai meda pakaian traditional indu kitai iban laban ba Semanjung nadai meda pakaian bakatu, very unique and beautiful ko sida iya, nya sida alO minta beposing, awak sida mai ke menua sida din mantai ke pemanah "ngepan" bangsa kitai. Proud to be an iban, we are unique race with beautiful culture esp. in our traditional costume, where we must preserve and believe each iban household should have a set of "ngepan" for women and men.
