UPDATE (December 13): The event will be postponed to January 9, 2021 in light of the persisting high Covid numbers in Perak.
Sharpened Word (SW) wants to end the year 2020 with a bang and in a merry note, and with that they are staging Talent Time with the theme ‘Ode to Old Ipoh’ on 19 December 2020 at 22 Hale Street, Ipoh, from 2.30 to 5.00pm.
Tourism Perak is gracious enough to sponsor cash prizes worth up to RM1500 to winners of Talent Time. Participation is open to all from ages fifteen and above and participants can showcase their talent in various disciplines, subject to the conditions of the venue and Talent Time rules and regulations.
SW encourages all Ipohites and Perakians (as well as visitors from other states but places are limited) to take part and come enjoy this social and cultural event. Bearing the CMCO in mind, the event will be postponed if CMCO is extended in Perak.
