Lion dancers bid tearful farewell to comrade

RAWANG: Two lion dance troupes banded together to give one of their own an emotional send-off that honoured her love of the traditional performance.

At the funeral of 18-year-old Choo Heng Poh here yesterday, the raucous sounds of the lion dance rang out as members of Rawang’s Quan Yi Dragon and Lion Dance troupe and their counterparts from the Kuala Lumpur Xinyang Athletics Association beat the drums and cymbals amidst a sombre atmosphere.
