    Today, my family and I visited Annah Rais, a remarkable experience that transported us to a different world after just an hour's drive from Kuching. The village has a modest entry fee of 10 Ringgit, which directly supports the local community. We were warmly welcomed by the kind and genuine people of Annah Rais. What stood out to me was the authenticity of the experience - this isn't a staged attraction for tourists but a glimpse into real life. We had the pleasure of meeting Arthur Borman, who shared fascinating stories about the history and culture of the Bidayuh people. Hearing him play his traditional instrument in person was an unforgettable experience. The sound is even more captivating live. Arthur is truly a treasure, and his pride in his heritage is evident. Meeting him and visiting Annah Rais gave us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the local community.

You just type Pangkalan Tebang Old Shophouses and the directions given are very clear and accurate. From Kuching, you go towards Kpg. Tringgus. Just a few km. from Kpg. Tringgus, there is a junction on the left-hand side that leads to the bazaar. There is a big signboard showing the direction to the bazaar just before the junction.

Years later I was very proud to be presented with the Pinjat Malaysia...by the Malaysian high commisionar in the UK ...in Colchester Essex.
