Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) 2007 will be held from August 18 to September 2 (not daily, schedule below) at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).
It sounds like a fun event… I am quite surprise that the organizer didn’t try harder to promote the show; perhaps they are focusing on foreign visitors instead. After all, the ticket isn’t cheap (RM38.50- RM181.50).
I don’t think I will want to buy the tickets; but I believe we can see the fireworks from distance… so I will be going to Putrajaya for one of the show. The schedule of the show according to MIFC’s website…
August 18 - Team Malaysia (Opening Ceremony)
August 19 - Team Global
August 22 - Team Australia
August 24 - Team Global
August 25 - Team Italy
August 30 - Team Japan
August 31 - Team Global
September 1 - Team Global
September 2 - Global/Pyrofest Canada (Grand Finale)
Update August 19 - seems like MIFC is doing better than I thought. Bernama reported that 100,000 people were in Putrajaya to see the show.

I was just wondering…how did you take this picture? I’m interested in this yr’s MIFC. I wanna find a good spot to take good pics of it. Any recommendations?
Beatrice… the picture is from the MIFC official website. There are a few spots to take good pics; the convention centre should be great but I am not sure if they are going to open for public this year.
There are a few spots around, but I am not sure how to direct you to the exact place… it’s by the roadsides. Go early and make a round or two around the area and you should be able to find a good spot.
