Date: 9th – 11th February 2007

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.
