A 60m-long, 3.9m-high ice sculpture at the Lost World of Tambun theme park here, which took 26 hours to carve, has entered the Asia Book of Records (ABR) as the most expansive ice sculpture.
A total of 250 blocks of ice, each weighing about 100kg, were used.
Lost World of Tambun general manager Nurul Nuzairi Mohd Azahari said the dream to get the theme park’s name into the ABR started about a year ago with the purpose of providing training to students of culinary arts.
“We gathered 25 senior sculptors and 25 amateurs who were helped by 67 students of the Chenderoh Community College, Kuala Kangsar, to get the job done.
“It was a challenging task because of our tropical weather and besides there is also a hot spring nearby, but we succeeded,” he told reporters after being presented with the certificate of recognition by ABR representatives Evelyn Kuppa and Grace Kuppa last night.
He said the recognition was all the more meaningful as it was achieved in conjunction with the month-long National Day celebrations.
The three chefs who headed the team — Sabri Hassan, Ahmad Tarmizi Ismail and Harun Jalil — were also awarded ABR certificates for the feat.
