Okay, this is definitely another attractions of Penang! Eh, flag parade?

Nah, this is the Chingay Parade! Chingay is basically a giant flag performance first performed in Penang (apart from China)

So, what is this all about? The performer will pass the giant flag either by mouth or just using forehead, in order to balance the flag, skill and good stamina is a must

"It is a street art where the performer balances a giant flag that ranges from 25 to 32 feet (7.6 to 9.8m) in height and about 60 pounds (27kg) in weight"
