And this is important because any enterprise needs to achieve that in order to be there for the medium and long term [goals]."
Golding also emphasized the capabilities of Dream Weekend Entertainment, noting, "The principles of dream entertainment who I think are young, who have already established themselves in the field of entertainment as being innovators and very capable executors of events."
