Kota Kinabalu: Organising Chairman of the week-long 5th Sabah International Coffee Carnival Yap Cheen Boon, urged the public to support the event which is staged this year as an initiative of the ‘Love Vibrant KK‘ programme of KK City Hall.
Because of the overwhelming response to what was called the “Borneo Coffee Festival” last year, the Organising Committee decided to expand it into two zones – the week-long Carnival Zone at the 8th floor of Suria Sabah starting Sept 26 and the three-day Expo Zone to be held on the Ground Floor on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Opened to visitors since Monday, the Carnival Zone features dozens of booths showcasing in many cases, surprisingly eye opening entrepreneurial sophistication of some local products besides coffee, well worth the curiosity of and discovery of Sabahans.
