Speaking to the media after launching the “Bayu Seni: Sabah’s Ethnic Cross-Cultural Digital Exhibition” at Imago Shopping Mall, here, Liew said both flights would operate three times a week.

The event aimed to celebrate the fusion of artistic talent, culture, technology and innovation across the BIMP-EAGA region.

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.
Liew expressed gratitude to the BIMP-EAGA Facilitation Centre for their support in promoting regional cooperation and cultural exchange, emphasising the importance of showcasing diverse cultures through digital art

The theme of this year’s event, “Indigenous and Experimental”, highlights the rich heritage of indigenous communities and the commitment to cultural innovation and technological progress.

The collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) has been instrumental in organising the Creative Industry Talk Bayu Seni, which plays an important role in developing regional talents and enriching the festival with informative discussions and learning opportunities.

This collaboration also positions Sabah as an attractive destination for filmmakers and tourists, contributing to the growth of the cultural and economic landscape.

The partnership with the Sabah Creative Economy and Innovation Centre (Scenic) has enabled the incorporation of cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies into the exhibitions.

“These technologies enhance the visual experience, engage the senses in new and exciting ways, and promote technological innovation in other sectors,” said Liew.
