In conjunction with this annual event emulating the "Kirab Pusaka", there will be a Keris Cleansing Showcase that will last for 3 days, known as “Rangsang Rias Pusaka Bangsa 2007”, or Heirloom Rejuvenation Ceremony 2007.

Date: 9th – 11th February 2007
Time: 10.00am – 5.30pm (throughout the 3 days)
Location: Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampung Gelam, Singapore.
The official opening is on 10th February 2007 at 10.00am.

The keris and the cleansing of other heirlooms or pusaka will be held. Another interesting event during this period is a Keris Tournament, "Sayembara Ratu Keris 2007" or Keris Pageant 2007, a ‘beauty contest’ whereby anyone with keris can participate. The keris will be judged by a panel of judges, which will based on artistic merits and not in the mystical form (if any) or practical elements. The pieces will be on display throughout the entire event. The categories would be sorted by regional differences, or type of weapon.

Winning pieces will be on display at the Malay Heritage Centre for about a month. There will also be Malay traditional cultural performances during the event.

All are welcome.

For those who wish to participate in the tournament can submit their keris for the competition from Monday 5/2/2007. Latest submission would be on Wednesday 7/2/2007. The categories are,

A pity I can't attend because of the distance.
But this year I have sent a, not before published, Keris to represent me.

Michael,

I've seen and handled this beauty. With it's new fittings, a sight to behold.

I won't be putting any of my pieces against it in this category.

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.
