Festival Hang Tuah 2011

I was given the opportunity last Friday to perform with the Kumpulan Kebudayaan Chetti Melaka at the Muzium Kesultanan Melaka. This event was held to enlighten the locals as well as foreign tourists on the rich history of Malacca's diplomatic consulate and warrior, Hang Tuah.
During this event, performers from multiple groups such as the Perguruan Silat, Briged Seni, Jabatan Kebudayaan, Tames Production, Asthana Arts as well as from Kumpulan Kebudayaan Nyonya Baba and Chetti Melaka worked together for a period of 5 days to make this event successful.
As most of us were already acquainted with each other from previous performances such as the UNESCO World Heritage City Commemoration and Merdeka Celebrations that are held every year, we were all at ease with each other and had the time of our life although practice schedule was tight and exhausting.
All in all, we put on a great if not amazing show and I sincerely hope that events as such will be organised in the near future to ensure that Malacca's rich history and culture be preserved and told in the following years to come.
