KABONG – The spirit of unity is palpable in Kabong as residents, government agencies, and volunteers unite in a collective effort to prepare for the upcoming Kabong International Beach Trail Marathon (KIBTM) 2025.
In a powerful display of grassroots collaboration, Kabong State Assemblyman Dato’ Mohd Chee Kadir joined local communities in cleaning Tanjung Kembang Beach, a symbolic gesture underscoring the shared commitment to hosting a world-class event.
