AS IF it did not want to disappoint the hundreds of people gathered at the Gopeng Lantern Fest, the moon shined brightly and illuminated the sky even as persistent rain threatened to put a damper on the festivities.

But even the wet weather could not stop revellers from marvelling at the moon and taking part in a lantern procession around Medan Lapangan Lagenda in Ipoh, which falls under the Gopeng parliamentary constituency.
