Sabah Cultural Park to promote culture in the state

15th October, 2009

KOTA KINABALU: Taman Budaya Sabah, a one-stop centre for performing arts and cultural activities which is under construction, is expected to further enrich the various cultures and arts in the state.

Featuring traditional building designs of the various ethnic groups in Sabah, the park is expected to provide the most sophisticated facilities for the performing arts and cultural shows when fully completed in May next year.

Among other things, it would become a training centre for local artistes and would unearth new talents in the field, said the State Director of the Department of National Arts and Culture, Salehhuddin Md Salleh.

“We want to have a ‘mini Istana Budaya’ in Kota Kinabalu.

“It will be a state-of-the-art performing arts venue, and open to public for cultural activities. The one-stop cultural village will be part of the cultural preservation programme,” he told Bernama recently.

The Taman Budaya Sabah, located next to the Taman Rimba Tropika at Jalan Penampang, here will have three main buildings, namely, the auditorium, which can seat more than 600 people, a training studio for dances and recording, and an administration block.

Salehuddin hoped that the Taman Budaya could be utilised as the main location to stage international events such as the ‘Sabah International Folklore Dance Festival’.
