Opening Ceremony

‘Tak kenal maka tak cinta’ (one has to meet to fall in love), a local Malay saying that beckons anyone to experience Malaysia’s cultural heritage of traditional arts and crafts. Hence, in this Welcome Reception, we give some samples of the Malaysian cultural activities such as pewter smithing, basket weaving, batik painting, songket weaving, wood-carving, henna painting and Chinese calligraphy. We invite you to tantalise your taste buds with Malaysian famous street food and to quench your thirst while enjoying our traditional gamelan music as you mingle and network with fellow attendees.
