Patriotic
Malaysians and fans of nostalgia are in for a treat this independence day, as
the Sunway Group is gearing up to deliver an all-immersive Malaysian experience
through its specially-curated #JomMalaysia Carnival which will be open to
public for free.
The #JomMalaysia
Carnival will take place on August 31 and September 1, from 10 am until 10 pm
in front of Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur.
“We have
created the #JomMalaysia Carnival as a tribute to the nation’s ‘Sayangi
Malaysiaku’ campaign. For the Carnival, we have curated five experiential
spaces which showcase the diversity of heritage and culture of Malaysia,” said
Tan Sri Razman M. Hashim, Deputy Chairman of Sunway Group.
“We hope
that this will be a nostalgia-inducing experience for everyone which will
strengthen their love for the country through cultivating a deeper
understanding of our history. To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia,” he added.
Visitors
attending the #JomMalaysia Carnival can experience the Malaysian journey through
five experiential spaces - Flavours of
Malaysia (Food), Voices of Malaysia
(Music), Cultures of Malaysia (Dance),
Arts of Malaysia (Arts &
Crafts), and Games of Malaysia
(Games).
The
excitement starts at the entrance of the Carnival where the unique “Evolution
Tunnel” will transport visitors through a historical timeline showcasing
Malaysia’s rich historical heritage. The tunnel will also showcase Sunway’s
transformation from its early mining days into a multinational conglomerate
today, very much in tandem with Malaysia’s progress as a nation.
Ardent
foodies will be able to sample an array of tantalising Malaysian favourites
including nasi kerabu, laksa, rojak and cendol at the Flavours of Malaysia space. The “Childhood Food Store” within this
experiential space guarantees a deliciously nostalgic experience where the
great snacks of the 70s and 80s such as White Rabbit Candy, Haw Flakes, Eye
Glass Candy, The Laughing Cow Belcubes, Biskut Piring, Apollo Chocolate Wafers,
Ice Gems, Roti Ice Cream and others will make a delightful comeback.
For dance
afficionados, an unforgettable cultural experience awaits at the Cultures of Malaysia space. Here,
visitors will be taken through a captivating journey of Malaysia’s diverse
cultural heritage through sublime performances by the talented performers from
ASWARA Malaysia.
At the Voices
of Malaysia space, an sonic extravaganza awaits, where vocalists and musicians from the Malaysian
Buskers Club promise to enthrall the audience with their lively repertoire of
original and cover songs.
