Festivals & Celebrations
Citrawarna Malaysia
One of the world's most colourful extravaganzas takes place in Kuala Lumpur near the end of May each year. Citrawarna or the Colours of Malaysia is the kick off ceremony for a month-long celebration of the cultural diversity of the people who live in the 14 states and 4 territories that make up that multifaceted country. This event also is one of the celebrations marking the official birthday of the new King of Malaysia, His Majesty The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. In a kaleidoscope of colourful ethnic costumes, a procession of nearly six thousand Malaysians entered Merdeka Square. They escorted the float containing their King, the Queen and an assortment of dignitaries to the Royal dais. Then they presented a spectacular show, with a continuous presentation of music and dance significant to their different states or cultures. For three and a half hours I sat spellbound while being entertained by the exotic rhythm and movement of this magnificent mosaic of people. For the fifth successive year, the people of Malaysia showed visitors from throughout the world that people of vastly different cultural and ethnic backgrounds can live harmoniously and happily in one country.
