Yachting in the monsoon

Ok, so maybe this Monsoon Cup is an interesting thing. And apparently, Pulau Duyung, the host of the event, has a tradition of boat-making.

Here's the VC of USM writing about the "creative thinking" that gave rise to the whole idea.

And the organizers are expecting between 10,000 to 15,000 spectators at the inaugural event.

So maybe it's a pretty good thing for the State, and maybe even the country.

Still, don't forget the turtles.
