Kota Kinabalu: Kelab Pemuda Taman Fajar has submitted a proposal for the 2024 Tawau International Light Fest to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment.
Minister Datuk Christina Liew received the document from the Event Organising Chairman Philip Yap Wui Lip during a recent courtesy call.
“I commend Kelab Pemuda Taman Fajar for its initiative in proposing to organise this festival in Sri Tanjong to showcase Tawau’s cultural heritage from traditional musical performances to local cuisine and lantern-making craftsmanship. It will enhance Tawau’s image as a must-visit destination for domestic and foreign tourists alike,” she said.
