MB: Johoreans remember their cultural roots

JOHOR BARU: The people of Johor have not forgotten their deep cultural roots despite the state’s rapid growth, such as the development of the Iskandar Malaysia region and the Petronas Refinery and Petrochemical Inte­grated Development (Rapid) project in Pengerang.

Stating this, Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said the annual Chingay procession here is an example of celebrating such cultural heritage, which has been observed by the local Chinese community for more than a century.
