Comments from the Editor,

For those who doesn't want to get stuck in the traffic jam, you can actually watch the event from Cyberjaya. At the traffic light near the MSC Building, let's say heading straight will lead you to Dengkil, turn left at the traffic light and go straight till approximately for another 4-5Km. You will be able to watch the fireworks there, but of course, the effects won't be as nice as you are at PICC. Hope you enjoy the show!
