KUCHING, March 3: As Sarawak’s diving queen Dato Pandelela Rinong Pamg turns 30 this year, fans shower her with sweet birthday wishes and blessings.

On her 30th birthday yesterday (March 2), Pandelela posted on social media a picture of herself in a casual, white graphic t-shirt, smiling radiantly at the camera.


Her hair was down, not in a tight bun that she usually wears to her diving tournaments.

“Turning 30 is mandatory. Feeling 30 is optional,” she said in her post, adding the hashtags #talkthirtytome and #marchbaby.
