Thousands of Christians marched the city of Sibu, in Sarawak, Malaysia to celebrate the coming of christmas.It is known as Yutetide parade, and standing in the parade are several floats, lanterns and school bands. More than 150 school children perform carol at the concert at Town Square.
Among the floats were the ethic float of the Iban Christians. Iban is the largest ethnic group in Sarawak, who was known for head hunting. The practice is no longer followed.
The other floats was the colorful Masland Methodist Church, with mainly Chinese members, as such the writing on the float is in Chinese.
