Kelantan eyes ‘perahu’ or wooden boat race as new tourism attraction

TANAH MERAH, July 19: A ‘perahu’ or traditional wooden boat race will be introduced in Sungai Kelantan near the Guillemard Bridge next year as part of efforts to promote the area as a new tourism destination in the state.

State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Md Nor said the event would serve as an added attraction alongside the Guillemard Bridge running event, which has been listed in the state tourism calendar since last year.
