KOTA KINABALU: Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo made time to listen to creative talents and conservation groups and learn about their efforts here yesterday,

Gobind, who dropped by at the 4th Rhythms of Rimba (ROR) Wildlife Festival at Nexus Resort Karambunai, visited all the booths to find out about their work and issues they encountered.

He tasted traditional delicacies and tried his hand at spray painting under the guidance of the Cracko Art Group.
