KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 (Bernama) — Bukit Bintang was lit up tonight with the launch of I LITE U, an innovative urban lighting initiative aimed at sustainability, brightening the capital’s nightlife.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim officiated the launch, which was also attended by Oscar-winning Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh.
Michelle handed a luminous sphere to Anwar to mark the launch, before he and the guests of honour watched a performance and parade at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
Also present at the launch were Cabinet ministers and other dignitaries, including Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh, Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing and Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, as well as Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud.
The festival, stretching nearly a kilometre around Bukit Bintang, showcased creative lighting, from chandeliers and moon lamps to enchanting fairy-tale-themed displays.
All the light installations used over 70 units of energy-efficient LEDs to highlight the cityscape with modern technology, support Malaysia’s low-carbon city goals, and reinforce Malaysia’s status as a top global tourist destination.
