The final part of the journey up Genting Highlands involve taking the cable-car. The cable car journey is scenic and takes about 15 minutes. The cost of the cable car is usually included in the price you pay for the entire package. There are very long queues during weekends and public holidays.
This is an inexpensive and convenient way of reaching the Genting hill top. The ride offers an unparalled paranomic view of the rainforest.. Because of the high altitude, the spiraling ride by bus instead can be rather uncomfortable to people who are susceptible to motion sickness.

Doubtless you've seen (or most likely heard) the phenomenon
known as karaoke at one function or another. And you've likely either cheered or
groaned as someone enthusiastically renders their interpretation of Anita Mui,
Elvis or a plethora of other singers, all to the tune of an instrumental track.
For the uninitiated, karaoke allows you to sing a song to musical accompaniment
by following on-screen lyrics. The word karaoke is derived from the combination
of two Japanese words - "kara" which is an abbreviation of "karappo" meaning
empty in Japanese, and "oke" or the Japananification of the word orchestra or
oketsura - thus "kara-oke" which literally means "empty orchestra".
Karaoke has its origins in Japan in the 1970s, when enterprising inventors took
the opportunity to harness the natural Japanese penchant for
impromptu performances at after-work get-togethers. By creating a machine that
played music without the vocal tracks, these entrepreneurs kicked off what would
soon become a notoriously favorite pastime of Japanese salary men.
The first recorded use of karaoke predates the equipment, since Asian cultures
often encourage an impromptu vocal performance at weddings and social events in
the spirit of comradeship and goodwill. Since its creation in the 1970s, karaoke
has spread like wildfire from Japan throughout Asia, and from there to the West.
You can find karaoke facilities and someone game enough to belt out a tune
anywhere from Ho Chi Minh to Hamburg. From its humble origins as a means of
entertainment at functions and after-work get-togethers, it has
spread to homes, colleges and anywhere with a willing (or unwilling) audience.
From what was originally a homegrown Japanese cultural quirk, karaoke has become
a global phenomenon that spans cultures and nations. Music is, after all, a
universal language.
Even if you've never sung a tune in your life, or you're a crooner bar none, why
not drop by K-Box Zone and Be-A-Star Karaoke at Genting - City of Entertainment
and sing along to some of the hottest Western and Asian songs available. With
top-notch audio equipment and great promotion packages, you'll be having your
own mini-concert in no time.

Attendees and patrons were treated to live entertainment
throughout the day with live music by a jazz band, dance performances by
resplendently clad dancers in peacock costumes, a performance by the Yuki Dolls
band and most exciting of all, a visit by the God of Prosperity! The
traditionally clad deity generously disbursed blessings and confectionery to
players before departing.
In addition, patrons were treated to a range of special offers including a
special 1 Genting Point offer for a room and giveaways that saw many lucky
players walking away with souvenirs and prizes galore. Red Bull sponsored the
unique "Winds of Fortune" where players can grab valuable cash vouchers inside a wind chamber while Red Hot Media

To keep everyone's energy levels up throughout the party, Red Bull offered free
samples of their energy giving beverage. Hungry attendees were also given
complimentary snacks by Nestle such as ice-cream, Maggi instant noodles and
Kit-Kat.
At 3.00pm, the STARWORLD Grand Slot Tournament Finals were held with much
fanfare. A massive RM 88,000 in prizes were up for grabs in the tournament.

champagne and toasts to STARWORLD's success.
Afterwards, the humongous cake was shared amongst players and

competition with some patrons demonstrating their vocal skills amidst
enthusiastic cheering and clapping. The best performers walked away with some
great prizes. If we need singers, we know who to ask for next time!

and entertainment as players walked away with happy memories and great prizes.

Anniversary one to remember.
