Villagers craft eco-friendly decor

ALOR GAJAH: The “can-do” spirit of Kampung Baru Machap Umboo residents is on full display ahead of the Year of the Snake as they took the extra step of using recycled items including drink cans in their annual festive decor.

The community has transformed its enclave into a fairyland of lights, with the replica of a snake featured as a decorative highlight, symbolising the age-old tradition of celebrating Chinese New Year in the village.
