Rejanah shared that participants will be introduced to cultural norms through visits to places of interest such as the Sumangkap Gong Factory and Bavangazo Longhouse in Matunggong.
“They will also visit other places of interest to be determined later,” she said.
“We are doing a hybrid sort of pageant, as we will carry it out both online and physically. In this respect, we have outlined our own terms and conditions for participation,” she stressed.
“The total prize for Real Beauty Unduk Ngadau is RM50,000,” she said.
She also stressed that they are not vying with the State Unduk Ngadau Pageant in popularity.
“We are a business entity that carry out this beauty pageant, to seek out new faces for our products, while ensuring our young ladies are accorded a venue to compete. We will involve our participants in paid photoshoots in future,” she said.
