Sleepy Town No More

This town, Batang Ai was awoken from its slumber, at least for these couple of weeks. These series of photographs was taken on the 29th March 2009, the day of the candidate nomination for Batang Ai state seat. I was not able to post it up earlier due to busy schedule and as you're reading this post, I should be on my way up to Batang Ai again. The atmosphere during the nomination was estatic, I was standing right in between the 2 differing groups of supporters and I was drowned by the chanting from both sides. As usual, BN has their election machineries used to the hilts, likewise for the oppositions who is not losing out by having the components of DAP, SNAP and PAS assisting their PKR counterpart. Will fill in more later after today's trip, hopefully will be travelling to some of the longhouses.

Yeah Willie, it's busting with activities but too bad there's isn't much going on when I was there yesterday.
JA, they posted the flagged banner onto bamboo makeshift raft and it was tied to the bridge. The current kept the raft floating, great idea.
