IN conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Bukit Gelugor MCA division in Penang will hold a celebration for residents today.

The event, to start at 7pm, will be held at the top floor of the Taman Tun Sardon community hall.

Division chief Datuk Koay Kar Huah said 400 lanterns would be given out to the children who turn up at the event.
