CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION 2008

For the first time ever, Chinese Lion Dance was performed in MARA College Banting, Malaysia on the January 18, 2008 in conjunction with the Chinese New Year Celebration. This event was split into two days. The first day included the Lion Dance Performance and the 'Yee Sang' event. A Chinese cultural performance , The Oriental Night 2008 was held in the college student hall on the second day. This event was initiated by one of my Medic friend in order to introduce Chinese culture to the students in this college. It was a successful event thanks to the many students whom took part in it. The tentative of the day started with the Lion Dance (sponsored by MCA) followed by the 'Yee Sang' which was prepared by the event committees for the teachers to experience the atmosphere of the first day of Chinese New Year.
