Congratulations to all the Malaccans & Penangites as Malacca and George Town’s just jointly inscribed as historical cities of the Straits of Malacca under Unesco’s World Heritage Sites (WHS). Therefore, a series of celebrations can be expected to commemorate Malacca & George Town’s historical and honoured moment for being listed as World Heritage Site .
With its geographically strategic locations, (situatied at the border Straits of Malacca) both Malacca and George Town have developed over 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West in the Straits of Malacca.
As announced by the Penang state government, fireworks will light up the night sky at the Esplanade, Penang on July 26. A three-day celebration will be held within the historical enclave of the city, with cultural shows, free trishaw rides and clan jetty visits for tourists, flower mural painting and tree planting to commemorate the occasion.
For those who are either working in Penang or Malacca, will be guessing whether is there any state public holiday been given. (My answer is ~~ I also not sure).
Let's cheers for the given honoured again and at the same time preserve all the historical yet unique architecturals and cultural townscapes.
