KUCHING: Sarawak’s orang utan continues to woo the international conference community, who are evidently attracted by the idea of saving the endangered species.

AOS Conventions and Events group managing director Anthony Wong has decided to donate his prize of RM5,000 from the prestigious Moises Schuster Award 2016 of the International Convention and Congress Association (ICCA) to the Semenggoh orang utan sanctuary, which he nominated as his top choice for most outstanding charity.
