“At the mall, we are always looking for meaningful ways to create experiences that go beyond retail, experiences that connect people through culture, traditions, and storytelling. Nyonya Fest was conceptualised with the idea of bringing heritage closer to the community, especially to younger generations who may not have had the opportunity to fully experience the charm and artistry of Peranakan culture.”
– Mr Darren Chear, Senior Director of Marketing, Sunway Malls Kuala Lumpur
