The Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival (YSDAF), back from a five-year hiatus, aims to create waves with its comeback by ensuring that the event is eco-friendly and accessible to oft-overlooked communities.

Known as one of Kuala Lumpur’s largest arts festivals, the free admission YSDAF has had its crew undergo Disability Equality Training (DET) and Disability Related Services Training (DRST) to better serve festival-goers at its finale, which is taking place on Aug 19 and 20 at KLPac, Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan, off Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah in Kuala Lumpur.
