RAWANG: Their passion for the lion dance has led a group of Malaysian-Indian performers to restart their former master’s troupe after a 10-year hiatus.
The Tai Yen Lion Dance Association in Rawang was started in the 1980s by Ong Yew Kee and closed in 2011 after his passing. Of Indian ethnicity but adopted by a Malaysian-Chinese family, Ong formed a lion dance team that was multiracial.
