In The Spotlight
16th March 2013 - Fiesta Malaysia

Fiesta Malaysia 2013: Embrace The Colours

On the 16th of March, the Malaysian Students' Council of Australia - Victoria (MASCA Victoria) successfully held its first annual flagship event for 2013, Fiesta Malaysia!

Led by the MCulture arm, Fiesta Malaysia serves as a platform to promote the different cultures, cuisines, tourist destinations, and history of the Malaysian community to the Australians and international communities in Victoria. This year, Fiesta Malaysia puts the spotlight on the unique traditions, rich heritage, and tourist destinations of Sarawak; land of the Hornbills.

The event this year was held at Federation Square, right in the heart of Melbourne city; and was supported by the Malaysian Government (e.g. Ministry of Higher Education, Ministry of Information, Communication & Culture, Sarawak Tourism Board), Australian Government (e.g. City of Melbourne, Victorian Multicultural Commission), corporate partners, university and non-university-based Malaysian Students Organisations (MSOs), as well as the international communities in Australia. Despite the erratic weather, Fiesta Malaysia 2013 managed to attract a whopping 18,000 visitors from various cultural backgrounds; who brought their family and friends along to experience a slice of Malaysia for themselves.

Festival goers were excited to be greeted by a wide variety of performances, traditional games (congkak, sepak takraw, chapteh, chinese chess, mahjong, ting-ting, gasing), and activities throughout the day; including an opening and closing performance by Malaysian pop powerhouse, Juwita Suwito; lion dances, traditional martial arts ("Silat"), band performances, lucky draws, and even a MAMEE Biggest Eater Challenge that saw the winner take home a 3D/2N hotel voucher at Aseania Beach Resort for 2 persons!

Apart from the usual food stalls set-up each year, this year's festival also featured costume booths which presented visitors with the opportunity to try out traditional outfits that represented specific Malaysian ethnic groups, a cultural wedding house, as well as a booth which displayed "batik" goods for sale; in addition to Chinese calligraphy services!

MASCA Victoria would like to thank all visitors, sponsors, supporters, performers, and committee members of Fiesta Malaysia 2013 for helping to make this event a success! We hope that everyone enjoyed this year's festival and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
