This year marks Malaysia's 50th birthday. Merdeka Day (Independence Day) celebrations on August 31 promise to be extravagant.
Toronto-based Kampong Ku, the largest predominantly Malay-language radio station outside of Malaysia/Singapore (and the only in North American) is organizing a Merdeka Day gala for August 24th. Homesick Malaysians and all other interested parties welcome!
In addition, Kampong Ku and the Singapore Malaysia Association are sponsoring a community picnic in Toronto on July 21st (10a-5p, Wilket Creek Park) , with potluck and BBQ - an excellent opportunity to sample some of the dishes we've raved about on EatingAsia! Kampong Ku's Encik Daud tells us that last year's attendees traveled from as far away as Buffalo, New York to attend.
