KUCHING: Kuching City Hash organised a Merdeka celebration dinner for its members at a leading city restaurant on Saturday night.

Present at the dinner was Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) Chairman Lo Khere Chiang, who in his speech, said that Padawan would continue to work with Kuching City Hash to further promote Padawan area which is full of natural rainforest.

“Kuching City Hash running activities are mostly held in Padawan area, therefore through this activity we can promote Padawan area not only to the local people but also to the tourists,” he said.
