GEORGE TOWN, Jan 8 — This year’s iconic Pesta Pulau Pinang is expected to be the final edition held at the Tapak Pesta Sungai Nibong, with plans to relocate the event to a new venue for the next edition.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow explained that the move was necessitated by the involvement of part of the festival site in the development of the Mutiara Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line.
