Dazzling show: Dragon flies around PETRONAS Twin Towers, capturing public attention


KUALA LUMPUR: A dragon-shaped light show has gone viral for its precision and scale as it flew around the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

The dazzling red dragon, created by a local drone light show company, mesmerised spectators as it wove through the towers during the Chinese New Year celebrations in the city centre.

The viral display has sparked widespread discussion online, with some questioning its authenticity while others expressed their excitement at witnessing the spectacle.

One Instagram user, @adiba_shareen, commented: “If this is real, it’s absolutely fantastic. Happy Chinese New Year to all who are celebrating! The beauty of being Malaysian is having wonderful friends from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and religions.”

Meanwhile, user @niffira_ jokingly asked, “Who summoned Shen Long?” — (referencing the dragon in the manga Dragon Ball series)

Another user, @vivianwee, said the show was a good sign. “This is what we call 1Malaysia,” she added.

Reportedly, this was the largest drone show ever held in Malaysia, featuring more than 1,200 drones. The event, which took place near the Petronas Twin Towers on Saturday (Jan 25), was organised to celebrate 50 years of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations.

Among the attendees enjoying the show were Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and other distinguished guests, as highlighted on the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre's official Instagram page.
