GEORGE TOWN: It’s going to be carnival time in Penang this month with plenty of action-packed events lined up, including the return of the century-old Chingay procession which has been on hold for the last two years.

In fact, there will be two Chingay processions – one on the island planned for Christmas Day and another on the mainland in January.
