KUCHING: Incoming Assistant Tourism Minister Datuk Talib Zulpilip said he will be working long hours to ‘settle down’ once his appointment takes effect on Dec 1.“I am not superman, I am an ordinary person who is willing to work hard,” he said of his incoming tasks as assistant minister.

On his future plans, Talib said he intended to carry on the good work of his predecessors.

He told reporters at a media appreciation dinner on Monday night that he would be looking at what his predecessors had done.

He said his target is to attract more tourists and also work closely with other tourism agencies.

Talib, who is also Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) chairman, said his past experience will be useful to promote Sarawak as a tourism spot.

He pointed out that a very large part of SEDC is involved in the tourism industry.

“Any experience is good, but I’m not saying that I’m better than the next person,” he added.

Meanwhile, TopSpot Foodcourt at Taman Kereta will undergo a facelift early next year.

According to a press release, the upgrading work will include two new passenger lifts, one new service lift, prayer facilities for Muslim guests, a larger covered seating area, new floor tiling at the food court area, new lift lobbies and toilet facilities, including those for the disabled.

Once completed, the food court will be more customer-friendly, to further enhance its attractiveness to locals and tourists.

Taman Kereta is located at Bukit Mata Kucing along Jalan Padungan.

It is within the city’s central business district surrounded by shopping complexes, hotels, financial institutions and other private corporations.

Taman Kereta’s car park started operation in November 1995 and serves as a multi-storey public car park cum dining outlet.

TopSpot Foodcourt on the other hand, started business in April 1995.

Today, it is an icon that is frequently patronised by the local community as well as visitors from abroad.

Due to its convenient location and wide selection of fresh seafood, it is the preferred dining destination. Located at Level 6 of Taman Kereta, the open air food court not only serves an array of fresh seafood and authentic local delicacies, but also brings a unique dining experience, overlooking the Kuching City skyline. The food court houses 22 stall operators, all of whom have obtained their halal certificate.
