MALACCA: New Year revellers can expect a carnival atmosphere here at Jonker street.
Jonker Walk Committee chairman Datuk Wira Gan Boon Leong said cultural performances and live music are set to entertain revellers throughout the event on Saturday night.
“The Melaka City Rockers and modern group dances by several youth groups here are expected to liven up the evening and this includes many talented musicians that will be performing live.
Revellers’ haunt: The crowd at Jonker Street Chinatown for shopping. “Apart from that, a Chinese cross-talking show is also set to intrigue the crowd,” said Gan.
He added that the event is in its 12th-year running with an overwhelming response from the public.
The organsing committee, said Gan, had expected more than 10,000 people at the countdown, surpassing the crowd recorded for last year.
“We hope that people will come and celebrate New Year’s eve here to liven up the festive spirit,” he added.
Gan also called on revellers to not bring and use snow spray during the celebration as the artificial snow-like kit was misused in earlier celebrations which led to some unpleasant incidents among the crowd.
“We do not wish to see anyone being physically hurt by any sort of party items.
“So it is better not to bring and use it,” he said.
To keep things in check and balance, the police, including some plain clothed detectives would be stationed at Jonker Walk to enforce public order and safety.
