KUCHING, Nov 15: The reportedly sold-out Manggung Di Muara highlights Kuching’s potential for large-scale entertainment events, says Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts, Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.

Speaking to reporters during a press conference after attending Manggung Di Muara at the Kuching Waterfront on Saturday (Nov 14), he said large-scale entertainment events in Kuching could attract visitors, particularly from Indonesia, and generate wider economic benefits for the State’s tourism industry.

He also reaffirmed his ministry’s commitment to supporting local organisers, particularly young people who take the initiative to organise arts and entertainment events.
