The 30-second video showcases a drone display against the KLCC skyline. The drones form a flag-like shape as their light colours transition from red to green to yellow, accompanied by a #sapotlokal hashtag hovering below.
As the spectacle continues, the PETRONAS Twin Towers are illuminated in a yellow glow, and the drones reposition themselves to spell out "Vico 2024" and "Vico 30th Anniversary".
The Instagram post's caption reads, "There are no fireworks this year. So, we arranged a drone display to make everyone smile.
"We hope this brings some cheer to your 2024, even though everything you see here is edited. But it looks real, right?
"Happy New Year, everyone! Vico wishes you good health, happiness, and always support local."
