Daling Daling Dance

Lovey-dovey groovy kind of love. Daling Daling, a dance to woo your loved one.

Daling Daling is a traditional dance performed in weddings and other social occassions. The Bajau of Semporna in Sabah are especially fond of and excel in this dance. Though the origin of this dance is not quite clear, it is believed to come from the Suluk people from the southerm Philippine. The word Daling is of course the English equivalent of darling, pronounced without the “r” sound.

Rhyming-folksong usually accompanies the dance. The rhymes recited can be quite jolly & sometimes with innuendos thrown in for a good measure, if you can understand the lingo.

Most notable will be the fake-nails worn on the female dancers. And the male dancer always gives me the impression that he is doing a Silat (Malay martial art) to woo & impress the ladies. Maybe that’s where the false nails come in useful. Slash…. if the silat-dance is not up to scratch. Jokes apart, I am quite impressed with this dance.

It acts as the focal point of development and expansion to a network of other campuses. This campus is very close to Shah Alam city centre. Therefore, public facilities and services are within easy reach. An added advantage is the fact that Shah Alam is the hub of information technology and multimedia applications. It is also easily accessible via the major highways that link the city to strategic locations in the country.

Satellite Campuses

These campuses house specialist programmes and are different from branch campuses, which usually offer a bigger range of academic programmes. Jalan Othman campus is the oldest of the satellite campuses while Puncak Alam campus is the most recently established. Jalan Othman campus is situated in the old part of Petaling Jaya and is less than a kilometre away from the old PJ town centre. It was in this campus that UiTM first started in 1956, as Dewan Latehan RIDA. Puncak Alam houses the most modern living conditions and the most conducive nurturing environment that can facilitate effective teaching, learning and research activities. It is well-equipped with high quality facilities and services, state-of-the-art laboratories and technologically-enabled classrooms.

State Campuses

UiTM is the only university in Malaysia that has a campus in every state of the country. It operated its first state campus in Sabah in 1973. Although most of these campuses started on temporary premises, their establishment has been strategised and well planned.

City/Town Campuses

These campuses are non-residential set-ups which ensure that UiTM’s academic and professional training programmes reach out to members of the community who reside within the vicinity of the campuses.
