This is a 5 days event organised by Ministry of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage of Malaysia to promote Malaysia in the UK. Bringing with them here are the traditional music, fashions, dances, arts and crafts, food and much more.
This event ends today (3rd August 2008) at 9pm.
This is not the first time Malaysia Week held in London. For last two years it was organised at a much busier part of London, Covent Garden. This time they change the venue and choose Potters Fields Park near London Bridge underground station instead, for a better view with Tower Bridge and the City Hall as backdrops
A few of us mainly Malaysians plus one Singaporean, went to give our 'supports' yesterday.
If you haven't had a chance to be there, here are a few snapshots of the event.
Activity of the day

A view next to the London City Hall
An entertainment stage has been put up at one end for the performances of dance, music and fashion shows.
He is the man behind the voice of the day, a presenter from Malaysia whose face looks familiar but we just couldn't tell the name.
"Err... why are they looking at me strangely... ah ..they are taking a picture of me!!"
This time I couldn't find the 50 pence a tin of 'kaya' (coconut egg custard) I bought two years ago, guessing that they must have learnt that it didn't worth the effort by flying such a heavy product and sell it just for half a pound.
Anyway let's hope that the event will continue to be a success in the future. Malaysia Boleh!!
