I should be thanking you for sharing this piece with us.
What I'm trying to say earlier is, my humble pieces cannot match yours, in Category 5. Good Luck.

Thanks Kai Wee and Shahrial,

I wasn't aware of that Adni had sneak previews before the competition.

Hi Michael,

Not that Adni wanted to have sneak previews, but a good keris cannot be hidden, just as paper cannot wrap around fire. Kerises joining the competition will eventually be known. It happens to all of our pieces.

Default Update...

For those who are planning to attend, please do.
This year's keris competition will be a fierce battle amongst local top players.
There are overseas contestants as well with many fine pieces submitted.

The line up is impressive. The Coteng category had been struck off due to no item submitted from this category. However, all other category are well represented. For all those participating, Good Luck.

The gallery at the museum had been set. The battle will begin on 10/2/07.

Dear all,

The keris competition concluded today with the prize presentation ceremony.

Congratulations to Michael for winning the 1st place for the Malay Keris category with his impressive melela keris! It is a worthy keris. The melela keris and other prize-winning kerises will be displayed at the Malay Heritage Centre museum (Istana Kampung Glam) here in Singapore for 2 weeks.

Hopefully Shahrial can take photo catalogues of the winning kerises and post them soon!

Congratulations! Michael. There were many fine pieces submitted for this category. To be the top amongst this lot is really something. The items are place in the inner chamber of this museum.
