Citrawarna festival starts in Malaysia today

A picture (a single video frame) is worth a thousand words. A video (dozens of frames/moving pictures per second with audio), a million words? Enjoy the videos (or the millions of words, hence the millions of colours and the million of smiles) on the Colours of Malaysia 16-day annual festival, which was launched by Malaysia Prime Minister, Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, in Putrajaya on Saturday night, 26 MAY 2007 (and to run in various venues throughout the nation until 10 JUNE 2007)....

From Tourism Malaysia website:

Colours of Malaysia is a celebration of the sights, sounds and colours of Malaysia. This year’s celebration promises to be a truly memorable one.

The event will take place in the new city of Putrajaya with the stunning Palace of Justice as its backdrop celebrating the architecture and progress that has propelled Malaysia into the 21st Century.

The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Millions of Colours, Millions of Smiles’. The large-scale performance will bring together thousands of performers, musicians, puppeteers and dancers from all over Malaysia.

The spectacular celebration will showcase the wonderful diversity of Malaysian life and culture through traditional and contemporary dance, puppetry, live music, state-of-the-art lighting sound and PIGI projection.

The theatrical presentation in front of the Palace of Justice will be combined with a vibrant colourful parade along the central boulevard of Putrajaya. This wonderful celebration will culminate in a spectacular fireworks display.

Welcome to Colours of Malaysia 2007 and enjoy the “Millions of Colours and Millions of Smiles in Malaysia”.

Come join us in Malaysia, the Heart of Asia!

For all Malaysians, it's long school holidays again... Enjoy your "Cuti-Cuti Famili" Travel! (Psst: Did you know that tourism is a RM 36.2 B industry in Malaysia, last year? Your contributions matter!)

Spoil yourself with many more milions of words (and splashing colours):-
