GEORGE TOWN: One of Penang’s most iconic heritage treasures will finally be reopened, nearly four years after being shuttered by the Covid-19 pandemic’s movement control order (MCO).

The Teochew Puppet and Opera House, one of Malaysia’s last bastions preserving the art of iron rod puppets and Chinese opera performances, will reopen soon, said its director Ling Goh.
