Melayu boleh

The arts scene in Malaysia is rich, colourful, vibrant and dynamic, thanks largely to the exciting blend of cultural influences, including Malay, Chinese, Indian, European and the many tribes of the indigenous people. This is reflected in the amazing variety seen in the art forms – visual arts, dance, theatre, film, fashion, music, literature, and even sports and games. If there is a clear beneficiary of the diverse cultural heritage in Malaysia, then surely it is the practitioners and lovers of the arts.
