The lantern is surrounded with different type of recycled fabrics and the interior is filled with hundreds of warm coloured lanterns.
"This time around, together with Kloths Cares, we have gathered clothes donated by the public and recycle it to decorate our Lantern. College students were also part of this initiative where they have contributed their time and skills to complete the lantern. This is one of our effort to promote the importance of recycling" added Phang.
