Malaysian students celebrate their homeland with ‘Tanah Airku’

Students will celebrate the land and cultures of Malaysia with “Tanah Airku,” which means “my homeland,” at 6 p.m. Jan. 14 in the Atwood Memorial Center Ballroom.

Attendees will experience the beautiful and vibrant cultures of Malaysia presented by the Malaysian Student Association, said Jessie Gooi, organization president.

“Excitement, astonishment, bewilderment — that is what awaits you in this informal and relaxed atmosphere which allows you to indulge in the everyday diversity, culture, tradition and rhythm of Malaysia,” Gooi said. “Find entertaining performances, history and cuisine within one room.”
