Chance to see Penang after dark
THE public will have the opportunity to get a closer look at the nightlife in the George Town heritage enclave in Penang in a 5km night walk on July 6.
The Heritage Family Nite Trail, organised by Bank Simpanan Nasional’s Sports and Welfare Club, will start at 9.15pm from the Esplanade.
Participants will be able to view the nightlife along roads with heritage and cultural attractions such as Leith Street, Muntri Street, Love Lane, Chulia Street and Queen Street along the 5km route.
“It will be a wonderful opportunity for families to come out in the evening and check out what the oldest part of George Town looks like at night,” said organising chairman Wan Mohd Razali Wan Jamal in Penang recently.
He said police would provide ample traffic control to ensure that participants would be able to enjoy the walk safely.
“We have also invited welfare organisations to bring along the physically handicapped. Our bank staff members will help push their wheelchairs,” he said, adding that 5,000 people were expected to join the walk.
The walk will be preceded by exhibitions by government and non-governmental organisations at the Esplanade from 5pm. There will also be free general health screening for the public.
There will also be a Festival of Dances event at the Esplanade at 9.15pm where cultural dances by the Culture and Arts Department and boria performances by SMK Permatang Tok Jaya will be staged.
The organisers have also prepared commemorative T-shirts, goodie bags and a lucky draw for participants.
Registration forms for the walk are available at all BSN branches in Penang and at www.facebook.com/bsnheritagewalk. Entry is RM10 per person. The closing date for entries is Saturday.
