“I believe with the kind of support they have from the industry and those who are in Kuching, WAK can grow into that level one day,” he said when officiating at the WAK 2024 Call for Proposal Media Launch last night.“Held annually throughout October, WAK welcomes everyone to participate, embodying a collaborative spirit between the public and private sectors.”

“We should be excited and to stay tuned as the respective city councils together with the WAK team will be unveiling further details in the upcoming weeks and months,” said Abdul Karim. He hoped more creatives from around the world will participate in WAK and join local creators in making Kuching the ideal staging ground for the festival.
