LAUGHTER filled the air at the Queensbay Mall’s central atrium when the children and their parents sat down to watch the wayang kulit (shadow puppet theatre) together.

Puppeteer Murshid Md Hussain, who has been performing wayang kulit for the past five years, said it was easier to perform in front of the kids as they are more curious and have high imagination.
