KUALA LUMPUR: In conjunction with Mid-Autumn celebrations, Cheras LeisureMall has successfully broken the Malaysia Book of Records for “Most Hand-Painted Lanterns by Children” with a total of 1,542 hand-painted lanterns made by children from 14 primary schools.
As an integral part of Mid-Autumn Festival, the lanterns embody the festival’s theme of reunion, hope and cultural heritage in line with Cheras LeisureMall’s theme “Moonlit Joys”.
The mall’s décor showcases the children’s lanterns, each crafted with imagination and joy – adding a whimsical touch to the mall’s annual celebrations.
The children’s lanterns will be displayed for public viewing until the end of September 2024.
