It takes great skill and strength to wear this majestic lion’s head with peacock feathers as it weighs 50kg and measures over 2m in height. This Singa Barong mask is the centrepiece of the Reog tradition, one that the masses will get to see at the "Malam Pusaka Di Ruang Kota" culture series at RexKL in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 17.

To celebrate Malaysia Day in heart of the capital, this edition of Malam Pusaka will present Seni Reog of Johor and Manora of Kelantan, two cultural traditions with a rich history that has prevailed for generations.
