THE Myanmar
Comedians Association will hold its 15th annual homage ceremony for senior
veteran comedians as part of its long-standing tradition, according to U Dain
Dawng, comedian and chairman of the association’s central executive committee.
The event is
scheduled to take place on 7 July at the association’s Yangon Region office,
located within the Mibakyeyzusek Pagoda compound in Ward 48, Dagon Myothit
(North) Township, Yangon Region.
“There are
challenges with organizing the event this year. To be honest, things haven’t
gone smoothly. We feel sorry for asking donors for support during a time when
much of the country’s focus is on earthquake recovery efforts. The biggest
challenge is funding. Organizing in Nay Pyi Taw is difficult due to travel
issues, so we decided to host it in Yangon, where transportation and
accommodation are easier,” U Dain Dawng explained.
He added
that this year, the association aims to support the honoured seniors not only
through the homage ceremony but also by planting medicinal fund trees and
monthly donations. “I plan to contribute as much as I can,” he said.
More than
100 senior comedians aged 65 and above from Yangon, Mandalay, Bago, and
Ayeyawady regions will be honoured at this year’s ceremony.
