All things Malaysia in faraway UK.

Hello Hello~~
What to do in the weekend?? Why don't you go all the way to KL!!! Well, not really but there's something going on in Kent that will bring you all the way to KL. Don't believe it? Here’s how:

Putting our own Malaysian twist to one of our childhood tales, we are proud to present to you University of Kent Malaysian Society’s Evening With Malaysia 2013: Anastasia.

Follow the determined Anya as she travels to the heart of KL in a journey of self-discovery, along with Dimitri- the conman and loving son with lessons to learn along the way, and Muthu- the buddy they both need to lighten the mood. Meet Rasputin, the bitter ‘bomoh’ twisted by jealousy and his loyal but misguided servant Bartok. Watch the heartbreak of a grandmother who loses the only family member she has left and the theatrics of the mismatched but very much in love couple Aunty Sofia and Pak Mir.

For more information, visit: http://kentmsoc.wordpress.com/performances/2012-2/

________________________________________________________________________

Can’t get enough of Malaysia in one weekend??? There’s another in store for you the next weekend!!!!  Now it’s time to travel back to the PAST and UP NORTH~~~ No more KL but there’s PERAK!!!! No more Kent but towards CARDIFF.

Held in the illustrious St David's Hall, the National Concert Hall of Wales, Festival of Diversity is a massive Malaysian cultural extravaganza, consisting of an original full-length musical, followed by a breathtaking Dikir Barat performance. On her 10^th edition, she will dazzle you with “the greatest love story that was never told" 

The brave Dato Maharajalela heroically defends his beloved village of Pasir Salak, against the ever-growing threat of colonial oppression. However, the villainous Perak Resident J.W.W Birch is a cunning adversary, determined to suppress the rebellion. Now Maharajalela is faced with the difficult choice of whether to trust the beautiful Petronella. Does she truly love him, or will she betray him to the wicked Resident?

For more information, visit: http://groups.cardiffstudents.com/malaysian/newsletters/

________________________________________________________________________

SO that’s TWO doses of everything Malaysian!!!! Get your bags ready and travel. Hope to see you soon. When you’re back in Portsmouth, it’s going to be all hands on Deck because we’re going to be travelling ourselves. Here’s a CLUE!

Nenek, nenek, si bongkok tiga.
Siang mengantuk, malam berjaga.
Mencari cucu dimana berada.
Nenek kahwin dengan anak raja.

Alhamdulillah, we had another interesting day in Portsmouth on the 30th of November. Thanks to brother Abdul Rahman Mohmad, the director of Israa Institution who came all the way from Sheffield just to share with us about the untold stories besides sharing his experience about his journey in Palestine. The two hour event were just perfect and enough for everyone to have a different perspective view towards Palestine having our concern even more in saving our muslim brothers and sisters that are currently fighting for freedom in Palestine.

A thousand appreciation to all who attend the event that day. Even though we know some of you are quite busy and in a rush for classes and so on. So give a big applause to yourself if you made it for the event. Everyone were giving high spirits over there, Alhamdulillah.   :) Besides the talk, we also did ask for donations for the palestinians beside selling dates and money-box for charity as well. We ended our day with a photography session with everyone. Well, I hope everyone was happy with that event and got what you need to know as it is one of the main current issue worldwide. Hope we can lift up our spirit even more by keep praying and do what you must do, so that insyaAllah one day Palestine will be free.
