A HIGHLIGHT of the Penang Chingay Parade 2024 on Dec 28 will be a group of participants dressed in beautiful kebayas being ferried in trishaws, in a celebration of Penang’s cultural heritage.

This addition follows the inclusion of the kebaya on Unesco’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, an achievement that was the result of a collaboration between Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Thailand.
