Kota Kinabalu: Sabah should look into hosting a symposium on modern and contemporary art, said Assistant Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Environment Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.

Such a conference, he said, has the potential to draw a larger crowd and will pique the interest of everyone, including tourists.

“Sabah has played host to several significant expositions and conferences, many of which have attracted participants from other countries.

“We, at the Ministry and the Sabah Tourism Board, are always on the lookout for prospective events to promote, and I believe that contemporary art has the potential to be one of such events because it complements tourism,” he said in a statement.
