Get your Penang travel information about what Penang sightseeing you can get to see
during January and February beside the above Penang Festival. For this
evening, the crowd was massive.
Seems the whole Penang Chinese has come out to have fun as there are hardly any place
to walk. We have visitors, locals and
international students bought by Professor Syed Zahari, a long time friend of Chandra.

We heard, it was announced at least 10,000 were in Pitt Street enjoying the few
events organized by the State of Penang and Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Some photos of the cultural show presented by schools, University Sains Malaysia
student, the Nyonyas and a young violinist thrills the
crowd. Overall, it was a great ending to the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year.

It was a night to remember for many seeing our lovely festivities when Nyonya Ladies
came out to sing their Old Malay songs. Seldom we get to hear these
songs anymore so it was a treat for me. The Tua Pek Kong procession when I got
the lucky oranges from him was another delightful moment.
These are some of the Penang Heritage that is in dire need to be preserved.
Most of the traditional cultures is what makes Penang into a heritage city
recently.
I part this year festival with a Nyonya saying.
