MATUNGGONG: Matunggong sub-district needs to establish itself as a gong-based market centre, said Deputy Chief Minister II, Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam.
Dr Joachim called on the gong makers and all the industry players in the production of traditional musical instruments to continue to fight through creative design, which not only maintains the uniqueness of traditional creations but also dares to explore modern creations while meeting modern needs and tastes to penetrate international market.
“I hope that through the guidance and technical assistance provided by the responsible parties, this gong manufacturing industry will not last and continue to develop in the future,” he said when officiating the Gong Festival held at the Matunggong Town Open Hall, here, Saturday.
