Chance To Get Insight Into Minangkabau Traditions

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Handicraft Authority or Kraftangan Malaysia will be showcasing large-scale cooking by Minangkabau society in Negeri Sembilan at its craft complex here as an attraction under its Aidilfitri craft promotion. The programme, which begins Friday and ends on Aug 31, includes the 'gotong-royong' activity to enable urban society, especially the young people, understand how their older generation cooperated in preparing food for the Aidilfitri celebration.

"The idea is to let the people see and learn how the earlier society lived, and indirectly revive the practices which are now dwindling due to the modernisation process," Kraftangan Marketing and Promotion director Ibrahim Ismail told Bernama Friday. He said during the programme, products and food for the Aidilfitri celebration will also be on sale apart from demonstrations on traditional food cooking and 'marhaban' as well as 'berzanji' competitions.
