PETALING JAYA: Unlike previous years, this year’s Gawai Dayak festival will be celebrated in a more subdued manner for Sarawakian Christine Lyana Raymond Mocheg.

The 30-year-old will mark this year’s celebration, which falls today and tomorrow, with just close family members due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
