Chinese cultural torch run

Chief Minister Musa Aman lit a torch on October 9 in Kota Kinabalu to launch the final lap of a five-month long Chinese cultural torch run. It is the precursor to a one-million ringgit ($320,000) national Chinese cultural festival on November 11 at the Likas Sports Complex in Kota Kinabalu. The Sabah government has donated 200,000 ringgit to it and Prime Minister Najib Razak is expected to launch the festival in its 28th year. (The date coincides with Fasching, a street carnival in Germany and Austria where people dressed in costumes parade and dance in the streets.) -- Picture by Victor Lo
