GUA MUSANG: Apart from the well-known lion and dragon dances, the Chinese community has other dances in their cultural repertoire such as the fan, flower ball and ribbon dances.

Realising that many young people are unfamiliar with these dances, at the golden age of 76, Phua Kui Yong, along with her friend Ng Giok Hoon, 71, took the initiative to preserve these traditional cultural performances.
