What’s on

Pesta Pecah Panggung: Transcending Boundaries

After almost four years of renovation works, the Malay Heritage Centre will finally make its grand return this April. In honour of its new facelift, the museum is throwing a blockbuster celebration entitled Pesta Pecah Panggung: Transcending Boundaries. Over nine days expect a culturally rich programme featuring performances, new exhibitions, workshops and all that jazz to help bring the Malay traditions to life. While the full festival lineup is still hush-hush, you can look forward to exciting silat demonstrations, wayang kulit storytelling sessions, and loads more. The reopening festival lets you be one of the first to explore and enjoy the centre’s revamped space. The refresh includes an upgraded auditorium for better screenings and talks, and new programming rooms to host a series of hands-on experiences. Also, in its commitment to making Malay heritage accessible to all, the building has improved its infrastructure to include more ramps, easier walkways and routes, and Braille signs.
