1. Magic of the Night 2016 @ Putrajaya
I have always wanted to check out the annual event of Magic of the Night in Putrajaya but never had the chance to, until this year.
2. Sabah
3. Pulau Pinang
Magic of the Night, which is held concurrently with Royal FLORIA Putrajaya Flower and Garden Festival, is where a parade of flotillas (or decorated boats) featuring the best attractions and icons of each state is showcased at Putrajaya Lake.
4. Perbadanan Putrajaya
5. Johor Darul Takzim
Therefore, the 2016 edition of Magic of the Night was also held from May 27 to June 4 this year for a total of nine days. Each night from 8pm onwards, visitors were able to witness the spectacularly decorated boats. The parade wrapped up with a colourful fireworks display every night. Imagine that!
6. Kedah Darul Aman
7. Kelantan Darul Naim
It was disappointing that Sarawak’s flotilla ran into some technical issues and could not participate in the parade, the night I was there.
8. Melaka Darul Azim
9. Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus
Also, I failed to get a spot where one could see Putrajaya in the background, so these photos could well be shot from anywhere in the world. But I figured that it was better for me to be in the front row than to forego this particular spot to look for a better one and not find it. These are better than none.
10. Pahang Darul Makmur
11. Perak Darul Ridzuan
At the end of the nine days, the best boats were chosen. I had a few favourites but as an ‘Anak Perak’, I rooted for Perak and I am glad that we won! Congratulations to all the teams behind these winning flotillas!
12. Selangor Darul Ehsan
13. Terengganu Darul Iman
