To show how supportive Sibu’s community is towards this event, radio station REDfm Sibu aired a special interview on the impact of puppetry beyond its entertainment and educational value, BE Sarawak reported on social media.
“Puppets have been used for centuries to address various challenges from childhood anxiety to social skills development,” said conference organiser Associate Professor Dr Loy from the Malaysian Puppetry Association. “It’s a safe space for self-expression where users can indirectly explore difficult emotions and situations.”
