ANOTHER FLORAL PARADE

A bloke by any name is still a bloke and the same goes for saying that an event is a Tourism Floral Parade. The Tourism Minister has announced that bright lights and colourful floats will brighten the nights in Putrajaya next month, as the Tourism Floral Parade comes back for the second year. 

The parade will be held from June 30-July 8, and will feature 15 floats parading at Putrajaya Lake, representing the different states, government organisations and two countries, namely Kenya ,China and probably some last mnute countries.

The parade will run simultaneously with the Putrajaya Floria 2012 themed “Bougainvillea, Enduring Beauty” with the bougainvillea the highlight of the flower show. 

“The night parade will complement the flower show in the day. Visitors can enjoy a variety of beautiful local and foreign flowers at the exhibition, and can even buy flowers at the stalls there. Then, they can stay for a magical night of floats decorated with colourful lights and fireworks. There will also be cultural dances and performances by artistes like Ning Baizura. This is truly a worthy event,” said Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen.  

The event is free and open to the public however the Ministry will sell packages staring from as low as RM150 for a three-day, two-night holiday in Putrajaya. This is something new and it is doubtful if such packages can be sold on a last minute basis 

Dato Sri Dr Ng  Yen Yen expects about one million visitors throughout the nine-day event which is only a dream.
