Supported by MBPP, JKKN, ADUN Komtar, and Sg Pinang, the event did not present Malay culture and Pulau Pinang culture, such as Boria. JKKN has many performers actively promoting Malay culture, including Boria Omara, who has been active for many years, the USM Culture Club, and many more. I cannot accept any excuses defending the organizer by claiming no Malays wanted to participate, when in fact, it was the organizer who chose not to include them

Adakah kemungkinan Melayu dah semakin nak jadi Arab sehingga tak Ada budaya Melayu sendiri? Video pun boleh nampak Penang nak Cuba jadi “international city” dengan promosi budaya Dari 15 negara untuk menarik orang luar negara. (Tapi akan gagal tanpa public transport yang baik) Madakala seluruh Semanjung Timur boleh dikatakan budaya Melayu, tak cukup “promosi” ke? Mengapa negari sana tak buat promosi? Fikir dulu.

The teaser perhaps features those programmes in the festival. There are 8 malay programmes in the festival. There are also malay faces in the teaser.Those of the malays who feel there are not enough malayness in the teaser perhaps should participate and also dont forget to bring your kuda kepang dance. I am sure the teaser will also cover that. Dont always look using your racial lens only. Teaser tu mungkin tayang mengikut program yg terlibat sahaja. Terdapat 8 program orang melayu di festival tersebut. Kalau tak salah muka melayu juga ada ditayang. Siapa2 yang rasa teaser tu kekurangan budaya melayu patut join dan jgn lupa bawa tarian kuda kepang sekali supaya ia dapat ditayang dalam teaser tu juga. Jgn sesekali pandang dari sudut kaum saja.

[@RetiredOrangUtan]

@@trulymdhow come Thailand and Bali is more international and a prefer choice of destination for foreigner? Food for thought and a renaissance locally is required so we can progress and market Malay culture better or there will be lots of restriction like the recent fiasco with Langkawi. Currently don’t you think Arab culture is holding us back? Whole East peninsular is very halal but even Arab themselves are not interested, only visit West peninsular or visit Western countries. Remember when Malaysia boycott Starbucks but Arab are flocking to Starbucks? We need to have at least some international city first so that foreigner can be “con” to Malaysia and once they are here, they can visit other part of Malaysia. So instead of asking Penang. Why not ask other state can’t make their state more international recognisable? There are so much interesting Malay culture in East peninsular and the natural resources like the turtle is Westerner favourite but yet not many (or not enough) go there. Why?
