BAU: Final preparations are now in full swing at the Bidayuh Cultural Centre Bau (BCCB) to ensure the facility, which is set to become a new landmark for the Bidayuh community, is in top condition ahead of its official opening by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg on June 22.
Following this, Deputy Minister for Transport (Riverine and Marine) Datuk Henry Harry Jinep conducted a site visit to the centre on Friday (June 12) to inspect the latest progress of the ongoing preparation works.
The visit was aimed at ensuring that all preparations are proceeding smoothly and according to schedule, enabling the opening ceremony to be held in an orderly and successful manner.
Among the works currently being carried out are upgrades and finishing touches to several key areas of the building, including the VIP Baruk, foyer, main hall entrance and stage area.
At the VIP Baruk, wood-textured flooring is being installed on both levels of the building to enhance comfort while creating a more exclusive atmosphere.
In addition, all windows in the VIP area are being fitted with a dual-layer privacy system comprising curtains and sheer fabric mounted on specially designed curved tracks, providing greater comfort for guests while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the space.
At the foyer, roller blind sunscreen curtains have been installed to reduce morning glare and create a more comfortable environment for visitors.
Meanwhile, finishing works in the main hall include the installation of curtains at the entrance and stage backdrop using a specially designed heavy-duty track system to create a more elegant and prestigious setting.
The use of luxurious red as the main colour theme for the stage curtains is also seen as complementing the exclusive and high-class concept of the official opening ceremony.
The ongoing preparations are expected to further enhance the facilities and overall appearance of the BCCB, ensuring it is ready to welcome dignitaries and visitors during its official opening.
The BCCB is expected to become one of Sarawak’s key cultural centres, serving an important role in preserving, promoting and strengthening the heritage, culture and identity of the Bidayuh community for present and future generations.
