KUALA LUMPUR: Bright lights and colourful floats will brighten the nights in Putrajaya next month, as the Tourism Floral Parade comes back for the second year.
The parade will be held from June 30-July 8, and will feature 15 floats parading at Putrajaya Lake, representing the different states, government organisations and two countries, namely Kenya and China. The parade will run simultaneously with the Putrajaya Floria 2012 themed “Bougainvillea, Enduring Beauty” with the bougainvillea the highlight of the flower show.
“The night parade will complement the flower show in the day. Visitors can enjoy a variety of beautiful local and foreign flowers at the exhibition, and can even buy flowers at the stalls there. “Then, they can stay for a magical night of floats decorated with colourful lights and fireworks. There will also be cultural dances and performances by artistes like Ning Baizura. This is truly a worthy event,” said Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen. The event is free and open to the public. There will be ample parking space.
The ministry, said Dr Ng, had also liaised with tour agencies to offer packages incorporating a visit to the flower show and parade. The packages start from as low as RM150 for a three-day, two-night holiday. Dr Ng expects about one million visitors throughout the nine-day event.
Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah and the Raja Permaisuri Agong will launch the event at 8.30pm on June 30.
