KUNDASANG -- The Sabah government is mulling over the idea to turn 'Rhythms of Kinabalu' into an international event to promote the annual musical performance at the base of Mount Kinabalu as another tourist attraction in Sabah.
Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said the organising of the event by the Information Communication and Culture Ministry, with cooperation from Tourism Ministry, had inspired the state government to turn the event as a new entertainment-based tourism product.
"We want to take this opportunity to promote Sabah's music and culture to the international community.
"Coincidentally, the event is being organised to complement our annual Mount Kinabalu International Climbathon," he told reporters after representing Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman at the opening of the event here Saturday.
Masidi said the state government was also prepared to be the main sponsor for the event next year and would hold further discussions with the ministry on the proposal.
Deputy Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz said the Rhythms of Kinabalu was one of the 20 programmes to be organised by the ministry, with cooperation from Tourism Ministry, over the next three years.
He said the ministry had also fixed Oct 19-20 for the organising of the event next year.
