It will definately be a fun day for all especially OKUs.
As most of the Blind will be involve in Ipoh that weekend so we might miss their skills, as this OKU Carnival clashes with their annual meeting , so a need for coordination here.
Keep your weekend on the 5th. December 2009 free and be with OKUs at MAB Complex at the Klang riverside in Brickfields facing the Monorail Station on the Klang River bank.
