Thousands of revellers thronged Jalan Bukit Bintang last night and turned the swanky shopping district into one big outdoor Christmas party.

Roads were choked with traffic and people, but no one seemed to mind. The festivities had a carnival-like atmosphere, with splashes of red and green dominating the landscape. Revellers donning Christmas hats and carrying whistles and cans of silly string added to the merriment by working up the crowd that began gathering in the Golden Triangle from 9pm.

"Bukit Bintang is the place to be on Christmas Eve," said an almost out-of-breath David Nathan, 26, who was at Bintang Walk with his friends after attending mass at St John’s Cathedral.

"This is where we get the Christmas spirit. Judging by the crowd, I think this year’s Christmas will be something special."

Peddlars could be seen doing brisk business hawking balloons and other items for the festival. One trader, who wished to be known only as Joey, said: "The cans of silly string are selling like hot cakes."

This item went for RM10 for a pack of three.

Some partygoers may have taken things a bit too far when they began spraying passing vehicles with silly string. The foam that coated the windshields restricted the view ahead, resulting in traffic slowing down to a crawl.

One motorcyclist and his pillion rider bore the brunt of the "assault". They were coated with foam when revellers surrounded and sprayed them for almost 15 minutes.

Fuming, the pillion rider got off the motorcycle, took off her helmet and began swinging wildly at the crowd. When she got back on the bike, the couple was sprayed again.

One partygoer, who only wanted to be known as David, said: "Looks like the celebration went a little bit too far."
