Persatuan Pengemar Panjut Kampung Ribu chairman Amiruddin Mohd Lazim said the committee had initially wanted to postpone the event this year due to MCO but some villagers felt it should be continued to educate the community that MCO did not mean being tied down. In previous years, villagers used up to 2,000 bamboo poles as the lamps’ main structure which takes different shapes each year.
