Even though it has been nearly a month since Pongal concluded, numerous associations and schools continue to celebrate the cultural festival on a grand scale. This enduring enthusiasm reflects the significance attributed to our traditions and the commitment to imparting them to future generations. In this vein, the City Council of Seberang Perai(Majlis Bandaraya Seberang Perai) recently hosted its annual Pongal festival celebration, achieving a notable milestone by securing a place in the Malaysia Book of Records for crafting the biggest Pongal pot replica made of recycled materials. This accomplishment underscores their dedication to both cultural festivities and sustainable practices.

The Seberang Perai City Council is hosting this celebration for the fifth consecutive year with the objective of fostering a deeper connection to our traditions and culture among the multicultural residents of our country. Recognizing and understanding each other’s cultures is seen as a means to strengthen unity among citizens. Over the years, the Pongal celebration has attracted participants from various ethnic backgrounds, contributing to the festive atmosphere.

This year’s event unfolded at the Multipurpose Hall in Chai Leng Park on 4th February 2024. The festivities were exceptionally joyous as the occasion garnered recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records for crafting the largest Pongal pot replica. The pot, with remarkable dimensions measuring 3.84 meters in height and 3.62 meters in diameter, infused an additional level of enthusiasm and pride into the celebration.

The organizers ingeniously utilized discarded items, including1698 used tires, broken dustbins, water pipes, woods, and plastic bottles. This creative endeavor not only showcased artistic ingenuity but also exemplified a commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. The deliberate choice of recycled materials in constructing the replica serves as a testament to the belief that discarded items can be transformed into captivating works of art without causing harm to the environment. By repurposing items such as used tires, broken dustbins, water pipes, wood, and plastic bottles, the project not only diverted these materials from landfills but also demonstrated the potential for recycling to be an integral part of artistic expression.

The acknowledgment in the Malaysia Book of Records stands as a prestigious recognition, underscoring the remarkable artistic prowess demonstrated by the staff of the Seberang Perai City Council. This accolade is a validation of their dedication, innovation, and collective effort in orchestrating the grand Pongal celebration, particularly in the creation of the record-breaking Pongal pot replica.
