Malaysia is blessed to be the home of many ethnic groups such as the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Orang Asal (aborigines), and natives of Sabah and Sarawak. This multi-cultural society lives in peace for years by understanding, highly tolerating and even assimilating their unique diversity in terms of religious and cultural practices.
Having such distinctive criteria, all Malaysians are fond of festivals. Regardless of their ethnic groups and religions, festivals are considered as one of the most influential means to cohere them together.
They cheer for the delicious ketupat and rendang during Hari Raya, lavish Yee Sang and magnificent Lion Dance performance during Chinese New Year, the alluring ladoo and beautiful kolams during Deepavali, the fascinating Ngajat Dance during Hari Gawai, and the mesmerizing Magavau Dance and Unduk Ngadau Beauty Pageant during Ka amatan Festival.
