Shah Alam, The Orchid City

I went to the Festival Anggerik  few months ago, held  at the newly opened convention building  in Shah Alam. Shah Alam Convention Centre or SACC is  located at section 14 Shah Alam, opposite to Kompleks PKNS Shah Alam and next to SACC Mall. This building is fully owned by PKNS and   had  hosted many events so far such as  such as a concert by  Asia's renowned artists, Siti  Norhaliza from Malaysia and Kris Dyanti from Indonesia,  in conjunction with  the grand opening of the building on 27 April 2010 this year,  property exhibitions and  the recent big event,  The Malaysia Film Festival in October this year.

The festival Anggerik  showcased  orchids which you rarely seen. The highlight was a competition for orchird   lovers  to compete and  display their beautiful and unique orchids to visitors. The festival was organised by the city  council of Shah Alam or MBSA  to promote public interest in orchids in consistent with Shah Alam as the Orchid City or 'Bandaraya Anggerik',  especially to residents of Shah Alam and to attact orchids lovers, local and overseas tourists to come visit Shah Alam. The festival is  held annually by MBSA. Orchird  has become part of landscape and steetscape in  Shah Alam. Shah Alam   is  really  a beautiful green city with  a peaceful atmosphere. A nice city to live in.
