The ‘Destar Siga‘ cloth is a native form of fabric weaving that originates from the Kadazan Dusun tribe in Sabah. This is mostly used as a headdress during traditional ceremonies featuring black thread and accented by multi-colored threads into various geometric patterns, flora, and fauna. On the new 5-cent coin, the ‘Destar Siga’ pattern is prominently featured, accompanied by the ‘sulur kacang‘ as a background motif.
The man behind this amazing outfit is Mr. Sara Lagong, a Sarawakian designer from the Iban ethnic. “It took almost a month to complete this masterpiece”, said Sara. The beauty of this national costume is that it incorporates both the Sabah and Sarawak elements making this a masterpiece. This many coins incorporated into a single dress has never been done before, and with that Olivia Nicholas, has become the first Malaysian pageantry-breaking history for the most 5 cent coins on a dress.
Apart from that, Olivia will be representing The Mrs World 2022 at the West Gate Las Vegas Resort & Casino in the United States from December 10 to 17. She will be competing with 60 other representatives from other countries. Datin Harveen Kaur, National Director Mrs Malaysia World wished Olivia and said the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.
Good luck with that amazing step Olivia!
Also Congratulations on the new record and all the best slaying in Vegas.
