KUCHING, Nov 1: Around 800 people attended a barbecue hosted by Kuching South City Council (MBKS) at the Traffic Garden in Kenyalang Park here, bringing families and residents together for an evening of food, entertainment, and community bonding.

MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said the council organised the event following positive feedback from residents who attended the recent Mooncake Festival celebrations at the park.

“Residents requested more frequent activities, prompting MBKS to make greater use of this public space.

“We want to bring people together. First, we draw them close, talk to them, listen to them and then work with them,” he told reporters at the event held on Saturday (Oct 31).
