of the Night 2015

Waterfront.

Pulau Pinang Flotilla |
This flotilla is truly in line with
the Magic of the Night 2015’s theme of “Endless Celebrations”. It depicts the
multi-racial celebrations like Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali. Songs
of many top local singers and musicians known regionally and internationally such
as Tan Sri P.Ramlee, Dato Jimmy Boyle, the Alleycats and Dasha Logan are heard
through the loudspeakers on the flotilla.

Boria performance
is also showcased through the Tukang
Karang dressed in traditional costume and holding an umbrella. There is
also a trishaw carrying a Baba and Nyonya couple. Trishaw is one of the tourist
attractions in the Pearl of the Orient.
Another favorite flotilla is from
the PAHANG which portrays its Mother
Nature at its best. With its own theme “Everglades Sacred Eco-Secret of
Pahang”, this is a prelude to Visit Pahang in 2017.

Bebar Black Water Jewel, a peat
swamp forest complex in Pekan town, is the largest peat forest in tropical
Asia. If you are lucky, you may encounter migratory birds such as Lesser Fish
Eagles, Grey-headed Fish Eagles and Wrinkled Hornbills, Flying foxes, Malayan
Tigers, Asian Elephants and fresh water crocodiles.

Be amazed at the Storm Storks
soaring above the bow of the boat, proudly showing their stout body,
distinctive long neck and slender legs for wading. Beneath them is Malayan Ghairal
with its belly crawling on the fallen trunk looking for its prey.
Magic of
the Night is here to stay for 2016 and years to come. It is an eye opener to a spectacular backdrop of
Putrajaya at night with its beautifully designed bridges, buildings and green
parks
