Kota Kinabalu: City Hall (DBKK) announced the temporary closure of the car park at Taman Poket in conjunction with the upcoming Sugandoi Kaamatan Final at the city level.

The closure will take effect from 1am on Sunday (April 27), and will remain in place until 5pm on Saturday (May 3). The car park, located opposite the DBKK Enforcement Department, will be closed to facilitate preparations and the staging of the Sugandoi Kaamatan Final, a highly-anticipated cultural singing competition held as part of the annual Kaamatan Festival celebrations.

DBKK advised the public to comply with instructions issued by on-site enforcement personnel and to utilise alternative routes to ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety during this period.

“This temporary closure is essential to ensure the smooth running of the event and the safety of all participants and visitors. We appreciate the cooperation of all road users and members of the public,” said DBKK in a statement issued by its Public Complaints and Public Relations Department.

The Sugandoi Kaamatan Final is one of the highlights of the city’s Kaamatan festivities, showcasing the vocal talents of participants from various communities and celebrating Sabah’s rich cultural heritage.
