MALAYSIA. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is set to usher in the Chinese New Year with a series of cultural performances and promotional campaigns.
Three-time world champion Khuan Loke Lion Dance troupe, together with the winner of the Top 10 Malaysia Dragon Dance 2007, will conduct a walkthrough in the airport on the days of their performances.
Set to showcase two Northern lions, the Khuan Loke Lion Dance troupe will be performing the traditional lion dance on 20, 22 and 24 January, from 6-8pm. A significant element of Chinese culture, these two lions will symbolically usher in all good things – health, happiness, longevity and prosperity.
On 29 January, a dragon dance display will take place alongside special acrobatic performances.
