Kuala lumpur: The country’s Highest Mid-Autumn Lantern Parade, organised by Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL), has made history when it was successfully held at a height of 394 metres above sea level, thus creating a new record in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR).

According to BERNAMA News Agency, LSH Service Master Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Khairil Faizal Othman stated that the event aimed to introduce the Moon Cake Festival, a significant festival of the Chinese community, to the multi-racial population in the country. “The main aim is to highlight talents who can decorate lanterns as well as create awareness among the public about festivals that people in this country may overlook,” he mentioned after the event at Sky Terrace, Menara KL.

The open-air lantern parade witnessed the participation of more than 150 attendees, who also had the opportunity to create memorable moments at the Sky Box. Khairil Faizal further explained that the programme aligns with Menara KL’s efforts to prepare for the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign, focusing on activities based on culture and tourism.

With the new management taking over the tower since April this year, their objective is to transform it into a hub for various programmes that can captivate tourists and the local community. The MBOR award was presented by its representative, Menaga Vadamalai, to LSH Capital Berhad chairman Tan Sri Lim Keng Cheng.
