Club to promote district more vigorously
Thi s was pointed out by President of the club Mohd Amin Othman when chairing the club first meeting at Seri Malaysia Hotel here yesterday.
“This district as the gateway to the northern region of the state will be promoted fully through various efforts including the Internet and distribution of information on the uniqueness of the district to attract more tourists,” he said.
Amin said prior to his coming here, he had tried to seek information on Lawas but most websites fail to provide helpful information.
“It is regrettable that most websites provide out of date information about Lawas or criticisms on the leadership in Lawas.That is why KEPALA will try to provide as much information about Lawas as well as activities and events to be held in the district.We are not competing with any government agency in the district but something needs to be done to promote Lawas to the outside world,” he stressed.
Among events and activities to be held in Lawas District by KEPALA are Lawas Fishing Grand Prix, Bikers Week, Pan Borneo Paint Ball Competition and other programmes including weekend Hawker Nite to be organised by Seri Malaysia Hotel at the Lawas Square.
The club’s pat ron Awang Damit Ali Hasan hoped that locals would make full use of facilities to prevent them from becoming ‘white elephant’ projects.
“We do not want hefty charges for using public facilities.We hope the various government departments and agencies here can work together for the benefit of the people,” he said.
Also present at the meeting were club Secretary Syarulizan Madian, Treasurer Ladin Atok, Councillor Liaw Hock peng, Councillor Helen Kasing, Dian Karmila, Jayfrine, Irwandy, and Awang Emran.The Lawas Tourism Club is not associated with any political party and its main focus is on the local tourism sector.
