KOTA KINABALU: Everise Ventures Sdn Bhd (EVSB), the operator of Sandakan Turf Club (STC) 4-D outlets in the state will be the main sponsor for the United Sabah Chinese Communities Association of Kota Kinabalu’s (USCCAKK) annual “Dragon, Unicorn and Lion Dance Troupes Meet” this year to usher in the Year of the Ox.
The annual event will be held at the Padang Merdeka on January 17, starting at 3pm.
This was announced at a cheque presentation ceremony held at the Wisma STC in Luyang here on Tuesday, where EVSB president Datuk TC Goh handed over RM20,000 of sponsorship to the event’s organising committee.
Youth Chief of USCCAKK and organising chairman, Nelson Chong accepted the sponsorship witnessed by the president of the association, Andrew Yong and some committee members.
Yong thanked and commended Goh for his generosity and continuous support towards the preservation and promotion of Chinese culture and tradition in the state.
He said such a contribution was valuable in this trying time of economic slowdown when it was difficult to secure sponsorship.
Yong reminded all the leaders of the participating dragon, unicorn and lion dance troupes to attend a meeting this Saturday, which will be held at the conference room of the Wisma Budaya, at 2pm.
