Lighting up the sky with kites
EXPECT LED (light emitting diode) kites to dot the night skies tomorrow during the 19th Pasir Gudang World Kite Festival (PGWKF) again this year.
Pasir Gudang Municipal Council president Onn Jabbar said the night show, which was introduced last year, had received such overwhelming response that there will be another night kite-flying show this year.
"Adorned with LED, the kites in butterfly, bicycle and car shapes would look even more attractive against the backdrop of the night sky."
This year, the event is a joint collaboration among organisers from three different states -- Pasir Gudang, Johor; Alor Star, Kedah; and Satun, Thailand.
The festival in Pasir Gudang, Johor, will end on Sunday. It will then be held in Kedah from Feb 25 to 27, and end in Thailand on March 1 and 2.
The theme for the PGWKF is "Wind Garden". Participants had to invent and decorate their kites from recycled materials. There will also be various competitions, performances, workshops and exhibitions.
Other activities that will be held during the five-day festival include a fishing competition at Tasik Taman Bandar, Johor Baru, a blood donation campaign with free health checks and a children's colouring competition.
On Feb 22, popular artistes such as Aris Ariwatan, Indonesian Idol Yuka Kharisma, Tam Spider and Mak Ros (Kilauan Emas) will entertain visitors and participants.
