MALAYSIA’s multicultural heritage was celebrated by children from several schools in Selangor.
Themed “Lottie’s Cultural Splash” the event was organised by YTL Foundation and Pusat Kreatif Kanak-Kanak Tuanku Bainun and took place at Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur.

Chew said the event was to celebrate Malaysia’s diversity and to send out a message for all to embrace it and not take it for granted.
“More importantly, we want Malaysians to be proud of their heritage because cultural heritage provides a sense of belonging and unity.
“We see this event as a great opportunity for children and
the public to get acquainted with the many different aspects of
our cultural heritage like traditional dance, musical performance, art and even games,” added Chew.
Raja Azureen called for
children to be exposed to such
events to ensure local arts, heritage and culture is preserved and passed down to future generations.
