Selamat Hari Raya! 😀
Yes, it’s a month long celebration. And it’s not over as yet!
Just last week I joined the team from Tourism Malaysia for a wonderful celebration with the local people of Perak and Penang. The recently appointed Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz was present at both open houses. Throngs of people came and there were cultural performances, plenty of fabulous local cuisine and entertainment the whole evening.
Location: Padang Rengas, Perak.

Now, I have not been to a public open house for years. Both evenings in Perak and Penang I was reminded again why our open house culture is so uniquely Malaysian. Thousands of people from all races, age and beliefs came together to enjoy a night of celebration, to greet their ministers and for some it was a form of family outing.
There were plenty of local food to feed everyone though there were a perpetual snaking queue at the food stalls.
In Penang a similar setup was utilized. Continuous servings of Char koay teow, laksa, satay, Penang apom, ais kacang, roti canai, lamb and etc ensured everyone is full and happy, an epitome of Malaysian hospitality.
Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz came over to say hi to the media before moving on to greet other attendees.
This is my favourite apom in Penang. Look out for him in Pulau Tikus, in the corner coffeeshop just opposite the Pulau Tikus Police Station. You would thank me for the tip once you tasted his apom! 🙂
Nothing beats a bowl of well made Penang ais kacang on a humid night.
More cultural performances and some local artists kept everyone entertained that night.
Even Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz came on stage to sing along to some songs. He’s such a sport isn’t he? 🙂
Thanks Tourism Malaysia for the wonderful trip and experience! 🙂
Congratulations to Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz again for his appointment as Tourism and Culture Minister. I certainly hope we could achieve our target of 28 million foreign tourists to Malaysia next year for Visit Malaysia Year 2014!
Wow, what a celebration! It’s good to see that Malaysia Tourism is promoting Perak.
You must have been stuffed looking at the spread of food they had. Penang must have the Char Koay Teow!
After 5 years in KL I have yet to attend a public open house by the government or ministries. Is it worth the trouble I wonder?
