It was a tremendous privilege for The Ranee to take part in the landmark Merdeka Award Borneo Talk Series, hosted for the first time ever in Sarawak.
The session, framed under the banner, “Inspired by Ancestors, Driven by Dreams: You Are The Next Story,” was an outstanding gathering. Datin Rosemarie represented The Ranee, joining influential Sarawakian creatives Alena Murang and Marcos Kueh. Conversation sparked about how cultural legacy, personal identity, and deeply held traditions can drive progress and generate new avenues for the nation.
Building a thriving future depends on key principles: the courage to change,dedication to culture, and innovation from roots.
We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant Freda Liu for presiding over the discussion with such skill.
A special note of thanks goes to the Merdeka Award Trust, a foundation by PETRONAS and Shell, for recognizing and fostering outstanding achievements, and for ensuring this vital dialogue reached Borneo. The journey continues from here.
