The Bon Odori Festival returns for its 49th edition with a two-day celebration in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, highlighting Japanese culture and the longstanding friendship between Japan and Malaysia.
Selangor Local Government and Tourism Committee chairman Ng Suee Lim said the festival serves as a bridge for unity, fostering ties between Malaysians, the Japanese and other communities.
00:00It is the great honor and privilege that the 49th Rotary Festival is being held for the first time in Sunway City for the World War, one of the latest years of tourist destination.
00:26This year's festival has even been more meaningful with the Japan Club of Kolo Kolo, the Embassy of Japan, Sanbili-ku and the Japanese School of Kolo Kolo.
00:40Together, joining is to organize this popular 8-year festival. On behalf of Sunway, we are ordered to be part of this.
00:52Bon Ob Fairy is a popular summer festival that helps throughout Japan. It should work with dancing with unique music along with the feet of drums and the melody of goods.
01:06Visitors can enjoy many stores selling Japanese food and the goodies.
01:15In Malaysia, we are meant to understand that the Monodori Festival, which started in 1970
01:22by the Japan Club of World War, has grown into an annual event that has grown up to 30,000 participants.
01:33This makes it one of the largest Japanese cultural event in this country,
01:40and possibly one of the largest Monodori Festival outside of Japan.
01:47Certainly on such a scale, it holds a very important and significant role in Thessaloniki,
01:54promoting and spreading the cultural ties between the people of Malaysia and Japan.
02:02I believe that it will be a part of the community that will be a part of the community
