A State Chief Minister Adri said that the state government is investing a total of RM1.1 million through the city hall to install lighting equipment, including better lighting facilities such as the use of LED lights.

The historical city government hall and the Melaka Merchants Association each contributed RM100,000 and RM180,000, and the electricity costs were borne by the city hall. The theme of solidarity, representing the country's main festivals including Eid, Lunar New Year, Deepavali and Christmas, can become a new selling point to attract visitors and tourists.
