Little Penang Street Market - A Malay Culture Spread

Little Penang Street Market celebrates this holiday season with “A Malay Cultural Spread” on Sunday, 28th December, 2008. Having recently celebrated its 2nd anniversary, the monthly popular street market shows no sign of slowing down as it continues with its efforts to feature Georgetown’s cultural and creative diversity. This month, with the support of MPPP and the participation of Puspanita MPPP, Little Penang Street Market will highlight Malay culture and tradition.

At the core of the celebrations will be a staged Malay wedding, complete with kompang players, nasyid singing, silat demonstrations, pantun and traditional dances that usually accompany a Malay wedding. A dowry gift-making demonstration and competition will also be held. This competition will include making the Gubahan Hantaran, Sireh Junjung and Bunga Telur.
