KEMAMAN: Kemaman hopes to create history by organising the world's largest parade of boats - 1,200 boats of various types - on Sept 13.

Chief of organising secretariat, Mustafa Ab Rahman, said the event was an effort to break the record of 670 boats involved in the parade held in River Thames, London, during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth in 2012, which was named the largest ever parade of boats in the Guinness World Records.
