GEORGE TOWN: After 35 years, Penang is back in the spotlight with the Asean Navies' City Parade (ANCP), which took place yesterday at Padang Kota Lama, alongside the state government's Hari Buletin 4.0 celebration. The ANCP is an initiative by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) to introduce and promote naval military traditions to the public. It featured a military parade with a contingent of 10 ships from Asean countries, the Malaysian United Cadet Force, the RMN Voluntary Reserve Force and the RMN Veterans Association. Among the highlights were a navy combat boat demonstration and a helicopter fly-past, as well as a silent parade and band performance by the RMN, which captivated thousands of visitors who arrived as early as 6.30am. A total of 301 Asean ship contingents and 388 students from 11 schools — including Penang Free School, SMK(P) St George, SMK Pekula Jaya and SMK Bukit Jambul — joined the event as parade contingents and marching bands. The ship contingents included RSS Vigour from Singapore, KRI Bung Tomo (Indonesia), KPD Darulaman (Brunei), UMS King Sin Phyu Shin (Myanmar), HTMS Krabi (Thailand), VPNS Quang Trung (Vietnam) and BRP Antonio Luna (Philippines).

The ANCP was held concurrently with several important regional events, including the 19th Asean Naval Chiefs Meeting, the third Asean Multilateral Naval Exercise and the Asean Fleet Review. It carries its own historical value, recalling the International Royal Fleet Review on May 19, 1990, which involved 59 warships and 11,000 naval personnel from various countries.
