The Hari Raya Light-up is an initiative by STB, aimed at enhancing the festive ambience of Kampong Glam in order to attract visitors to participate in the Hari Raya activities through street bazaars, cultural performance, games and competitions at the Kampong Glam ethnic quarter to be held at the Malay Heritage Centre.
