TO KEEP the pelita panjut or oil lamp tradition alive, Ipoh City Council (MBI) has taken the initiative to organise a decoration competition between departments within the local authority.

Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said the maiden internal competition would be included in the tourism calendar next year to encourage participation from the public.
