KUCHING: In its effort to answer a call from Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud to bring back the soul of Kuching City, Celcom Axiata Berhad’s main prepaid brand Xpax is bringing back the Christmas cheer and joy by lighting up its giant Christmas tree.

This time, bigger and better than before, the 70-foot Christmas tree was lit up just outside the city’s newest shopping attraction, Plaza Merdeka.
