Gordon for guitar meet finals

Kota Kinabalu: A local musician, Gordon Horace Chin, has been selected to enter the finals of the 3rd Penang International Finger-style Guitar Competition to be held in Penang this Saturday.

Gordon, 26, will be competing against guitarists from several countries.

On Wednesday, Gordon, a reporter-turned-musician, paid a courtesy call on Kota Kinabalu Mayor Datuk Yeo Boon Hai.

Apart form briefing the Mayor on the contest, Gordon also explored the idea of organising a similar contest in Sabah, supported by the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK).

In his response, Yeo said he supported the idea in principle and would seek the co-operation of other relevant government agencies like the Sabah Tourism Board (STB) and the National Culture and Arts Department (JKKN).

The Mayor congratulated Gordon on his selection for the finals and wished him all the best.

Gordon thanked Yeo for his support and said win or lose, he could not wait for the contest to be held in Kota Kinabalu as it will help promote Sabah tourism.
