The 1st New Year’s Eve Countdown Celebration in Penang organized by CreatiVision
Despite the downcast skies over the island, at least 80,000 revelers were spotted at the celebration. To mark the New Year, there was a three-minute fireworks display which started at the stroke of mid-night. A thousand silver-colored balloons carrying the message “World Peace” were released into the sky.
