At the beginning of parade, people gathered in the centre court of Shaw Parade…

The 1st performance, a dance piece entitled “Anak Malaysia” by Dua Space Dance Group…

The dance epic tells the story of ancestors of Malaysian Chinese building their homeland on this country. Songs of different dialect, including Hakka, Teow Chew, Guan Dong, and Hokkien were performed.

The 2nd performance is a theater entitled “Scenes in Pudu”, directed by Soon Choon Mee. It combines street performance, traditional medicine show and theatrical play. It portrayed the simple life in Pudu seen through the eyes and told by the voices of characters such as a carpenter, an Indonesian daughter-in-law, and a scissors grinder…

The massive crowd which turned up at the performance…

Just to let you know (in case you didn’t know), it’s a street performance, as in the crowd was in the middle of the road, and some even at the corridors of the opposite shoplots…
