Well-wishers gathered here in the evening in solidarity for thousands of migrants adrift at the open seas near Malaysia.
A candle light vigil was held to pray for the safety of persecuted Rohingyas and Bangladeshis seeking shelter away from their homeland in Mynamar.
The prayer session at the Speakers Square in Esplanade was organised by Penang Stop Human Trafficking Campaign (PSHTC) with four other non-governmental organisations (NGO) to show moral support behind the migrants seeking refuge in the Southeast Asia.
The other NGOs took part in the vigil were Suaram Penang, Aliran, Citizens International and Persatuan Sahabat Prihatin Pulau Pinang.
