The ‘Open House’ is a unique tradition found throughout Malaysia. Family, friends and even strangers are welcomed into homes with goodwill and camaraderie during the many varied festivities enjoyed in this country. In keeping with this tradition, the MCG invites members, their friends and newcomers to mingle, make new friends, meet old ones and to learn about the many activities of the MCG. This annual event usually takes place in September. The most recent Open House took place on 13th September 2023 at the Royal Selangor Golf Club. It was a joyous occasion as the event returned after a COVID-enforced break for three years and it was such a pleasure to see Members old and new face to face again.
This year’s Open House will be held on Wednesday 11th September 10.00am – 12.00pm at Royal Selangor Golf Club, Jalan Kelab Golf, off Jalan Tun Razak Kuala Lumpur 55000. Hope to see you there!
Wed. Sept. 7, 2016 started out with a bang alright…lightning and thunder in the early morning hours announced the beginning of a very special day, and in true KL style it certainly was. Neither rain, nor a disabled LRT, or the worst traffic jam in months kept 93 people from attending Malaysian Culture Group Open House 2016. Even some of the event organizers were stranded for several hours hoping to arrive on time!
If you are new to Kuala Lumpur (KL) and you persevered, then kudos to you! You may have just witnessed KL traffic at its worst, so now you can relax and enjoy your stay here, the hard part is over. Despite the morning obstacles we are pleased to report that “guests” outnumbered members attending this year, proving you are an enthusiastic bunch. We look forward to welcoming you and getting to know all 41 of our New Members!
We were so sad this past winter and spring when many members and their families left KL due to the decline in the oil & gas sectors, but now we are thrilled to welcome New Members who can enjoy what MCG has to offer. We hope that MCG activities will make your stay in Kuala Lumpur more enjoyable, and that you will meet interesting people and make new friends. Your participation and ideas is our strength. We are so lucky to have such a diverse membership from all over the world and all walks of life.
We were so pleased to see guests having a good time and chatting with our members that volunteered at the “Market Stalls” explaining our special interest groups: Explorers, Events Planning Team, Book Groups and ENAK! If you signed up for one (or more) of these groups the convenors will be in touch with you shortly. Get ready for some interesting adventures!
For those of you that missed the Open House please join us for coffee at one of our monthly lectures. Check out our web site for details. Until then, carry an umbrella and stay cool!
