I was fortunate enough to make friends with a couple who let me in with my camera. This guy carried an umbrella to protect his wife from the sun. His umbrella gave me valuable shelter from the sun.

His air bandung priced at RM1.00 per glass helped cool me down.

The crowds did not disperse. Some took shelter here and there and some continued watching the races with the aid of umbrella.
People of Sibu are sure resilient. Really miss all the happening activities back there
