“Adding significance to this year’s event is its coincidence with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China.

“This makes the dragon boat race one of the celebration activities, thereby adding more significance to the event,” Wong said during a meeting of the organising committee at the association’s conference room.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Wong, accompanied by FCAS Vice President cum Vice Chairman of the organising committee, Kapitan Fung Chun Fatt and other FCAS officials, provided a detailed report on the progress of the preparation.

She highlighted the strong support and cooperation received from relevant State Government agencies, including the Sabah Fire and Rescue Department, Sabah Maritime Department, Sabah Ports Authority, Civil Defence Force, Sabah Health Department, Sabah Police Volunteer Reserve Corps, Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK), Kota Kinabalu District Police, Kota Kinabalu Marine Police, as well as medical advisors, doctors and ambulances.
