“We have successfully held a number of events and look forward to putting into action all the plans that have been drawn up by the new exco and committee members. “Shoppers and tourists should look out for a special event we will be organising in conjunction with Hari Raya. “This event will include the entire Bukit Bintang and KLCC areas and there will be a spectacle of lights,” said Yap.
