Silat, satay, batik, cucur udang, kuih - what do all these have in common? They were all at Fiesta Malaysia! It was on at Federation Square this Saturday and I was there to show my support. The fest was organised by the Malaysian Students' Council of Australia, Victoria (MASCA Vic) and sponsored by the Aust & M'sian governments and other corporate sponsors such as Mamee and Signatures Wedding.
There were performances such as silat cekak, gamelan, and lion dance which makes the homesick heart twinge. Add to that rows of stalls selling satay, murtabak, kuih, nasi lemak, cendol and it's enough to make one sniff. And salivate.
The turnout might not be huge, and information on the website regarding the event just a little sketchy but it is a tremendous effort by a student council and it is enough to transport me back to good ol' M'sia.
