Harlequin Haloes “MKM 2010: An amalgam of Malaysia’s cultures; all in a single jazz!”

“Have you really looked at our Malaysia flag? Take a closer look.”

A naked eye would name colours in a rainbow but a true Malaysian would see the harlequin haloes that crayoned the pillars of our country’s myriad inter-ethnic synergy. We stand proudly under a single flag; a single identity as proud Malaysians.

Rallying the torch of 7 years of impeccable college tradition, it was to come to spirit within the walls of KDU College; a cultural rendezvous. The rhapsody was summoned in a single file labelled as the Minggu Kebudayaan Melayu taking flight on the first week of August 2010. The climax of these series of esteemed events was symphonised in a Charity Gala Dinner dubbed Malam Kebudayaan Melayu which speaks in tune of Citra Warna as its theme. Connoted by the obvious, a sheer focus of limelight was placed on the colours of Malaysians via the conduct of these events.

Malam Kebudayaan Melayu 2010 was a well-synchronised event put together by members of the Malay Cultural Society (MCS) and students from the Centre for Pre-University Studies (CPUS). A week-long programme marked by a launch on 2 August 2010, and closed with a glittering, memorable night on 6 August 2010, has been THE talk of KDUvers and secondary school students.
