Move under way to nominate Chingay for Unesco recognition

GEORGE TOWN: The National Heritage Department is looking into nominating Chingay for Unesco’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The annual street parade, which is practised mainly in Penang and Johor, is being studied with a meeting held yesterday between the department and the Penang Chingay Association (PCA) to get the association’s consent for the nomination.
