‘Heroine’ steps up to save CNY event


Heritage enclave: The celebration, themed ‘Searching For The Beauty of Penang’, will be held along Gat Lebuh Armenian and Lebuh Cannon on Feb 25.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Chi­nese New Year Celebrations 2018, which has been in limbo for the past week, will be held on Feb 25.

As the celebration was in danger of being shelved following a strain between the state government and Chinese cultural groups, a “heroine” has managed to rope in 95 volunteers, 16 performers, 57 hawkers and 15 cultural units to keep it going.
