Fireworks display wows Ipoh folk at Winter Solstice festival

Apart from fireworks, a drone show also kept the crowd entertained during the TKB Winter Solstice celebration.

RAIN did not deter over 1,000 people from attending a Winter Solstice celebration at Marbella @ Ipoh South Precinct, Perak.

At the event organised by Team Keris Bhd (TKB), guests enjoyed a fireworks display and a spread of delicious fare, including tang yuen (glutinous rice balls dessert).

Visitors also picked up a few tips during talks on financial investment and feng shui during the event.

TKB sales and marketing director Chong Sook Fun said the event was also attended by property agents who were eager to see the Ginza @ Ipoh South commercial development project, which would be developed on a 81ha piece of land.

“The Ginza development is surrounded by matured residential areas with a population of over 300,000 people.

“With that volume, including numerous upcoming residential areas, there is great potential for retail and services outlets, which include restaurants and cafes, groceries and household goods outlets, financial services and couriers,” she said.

The Ginza development is located at a strategic location with great connectivity.

“The location has a high traffic flow and is connected to Gunung Rapat, Taman Soong Choon, Pasir Puteh, Pengkalan, Botani and Simpang Pulai all within a 5km radius.

“The location is earmarked for further development of residential components comprising double- storey terrace and semi-detached homes in the near future,” she said.

Chong said the convenience and connectivity offered at the location was undoubtedly the attractive factor to those who choose to reside here.

“Business owners will also benefit tremendously from the population growth, as well as the infrastructure which continues to improve as the development progresses.

“Many food and beverage outlets have taken advantage of this and expanded their operations within a short period,” she added.
