One
million visitors are expected to throng the nine-day event, said
Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz. Nothing has been said about who these people are. Certainly not the tourists.
We know for a fact that most of the tourists now in Malaysia are not aware of this event simply because they have not been informed or the hotels they are staying do not publise the event. Travel agents are too busy organsing their outbound groups that the ones back home are forgotten.
Popularly known as the “Magic of the Night”, 14 flotillas decked in colourful flowers and lights will cruise through a 3km stretch of the Putrajaya Lake from June 22.. There will be an explosion of colours and flowers when the annual floral boat parade makes a comeback next week

The
boats will sail along the lake until June 30 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm
before the anchor is dropped for a static display until 11.30pm every
night.
The
event is organised in conjunction with the “Putrajaya Floria” flora
festival, which takes place in the day during the same period. “There
will be a five-minute fireworks display every night at the end of the
cruise parade but on the first night, there will be an additional
45-second display of fireworks,” Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri said in a press
conference here yesterday.
I would very much want to learn how they tabulate the number of people that visit putrajaya Floria. There are no tickets, turn-stile, no control gates etc, how do get the number huh! Estimates Plucked from Air?
ReplyDeleteThey are estimating about 100,000 people per day which about the amount of people filling Putra Staduim in Bukit Jalil. Last year, I was there three times and don't many people as that I used to see of full stadium of a good football match.
Ini mesti TIPU punya!
