For the group of people gathered at the Sibu Baha’i Centre, it was indeed an historic gathering. So said Mr. K C Yong, NSA Sarawak Chairman, in his opening address to the friends present. The reason for such a remark was because they were witnessing the beginning of a new chapter in the annals of the Baha’i Faith for the central region of Sarawak. Among those present were two other members of the national assembly, Mr. Robert Ting and Mr. Suai Kirak.
The friends, from 5 local assemblies in the region, had come to the Centre to cast their ballots for the formation of a new Regional Baha’i Council for the central region (RBC Central). Altogether 51 ballots out of a total 54 ballots from 5 local assemblies were cast; 17 were cast in person and the remaining by postal ballots. A similar gathering would be held in Selangau on 11 Nov for assemblies in other localities in the central region.

From 17 till 27 November, Auxiliary Board Member Mr. Bunsie Tunton made a ten-day trip to the northern region by driving the family van all the way to Rh. Ansok, Sg. Kelabit in the Bakong area. He was accompanied by wife Bari and their three children. For Bari it was more like a happy reunion after a long separation. In her report about the trip, Bari wrote that their visit coincided with the Reflection Meetings organised by the Area Teaching Committees. At Rh. Ansok, representatives from ten communities in the Bakong-Tinjar Cluster attended the reflection meeting held on 19 Nov. The friends studied the 26 Nov 2001 document from the International Teaching Centre and the 2002 Ridvan Message.
