Kuching South City Council (MBKS) mayor Datuk Wee Hong Seng encouraged participants to showcase their dance skills by following provided steps and tutorials on his Facebook page.

“Participants are free to use their creativity with the dance, but the basic moves must be incorporated to secure more likes.

The social media account must be public,” he said during a press conference at the MBKS building on Thursday (Jan 25).
