Futsal game under the moonlight

Futsal fans can look forward to playing their game in a moonlit night amidst the cool surroundings of a popular recreation area here starting next month. The outdoor futsal concept at Hutan Bandar in Taman Mutiara Rini is a RM500,000 project by the Johor Baru Central Municipal Council.
“This is the first of its kind in the state,” said council secretary Farizal Ismail.
“The idea is to let people be close to nature amid the 3,027 trees of more than 100 species we have at the park,” he told a press conference yesterday.
In conjunction with the council's 10th anniversary's celebration to mark its municipal council status, Hutan Bandar will be open to the public until midnight.
“On Oct 22, there will be a fireworks show and performances by local artistes Ramli Sarip and Aliya,” he said.
