KUALA LUMPUR – The absence of fireworks on New Year’s Eve last night did not stop Malaysians from ushering 2024.
While the government opted to show solidarity with Palestine by cancelling the usual fireworks show, people still flocked to various places in the city, thronging the streets and soaking in the atmosphere, while many also joined the last night of a six-day protest ‘siege’ of the US embassy on Jalan Tun Razak to protest Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
Scoop captures the vibe around the city and wishes everyone a better 2024.
