“The opening of the LFS Cinema in PB Sentral comes just in time for the coming school holidays this Saturday so families in Kuala Terengganu can come to LFS and hopefully choose to watch J Revolusi.”
The Barisan Nasional (BN)-led state government in Terengganu, helmed by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman, started this initiative to open the cinema in conjunction with ‘Visit Beautiful Terengganu 2017’.
