Malay Heritage Centre Installation Lets You Relive Hari Raya Bazaar Vibes Amid Neon Lights

Neon Light Installation At Malay Heritage Centre Plays Hari Raya Bazaar Sounds

Entering our second pandemic Hari Raya, not experiencing regular events like bazaars has become an unfortunate norm. But the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) is giving us a chance to relive those fond memories via an elaborate light installation, right on its lawn.

If you’re looking for a spectacular background for your Hari Raya #OOTDs, this might just be the best option.

Light installation at the Malay Heritage Centre till 13 Jun

As part of their annual Hari Raya festivities, MHC is hosting a series of events in their #KasiOnRayaFest: A Ramadan & Raya Fest online and onsite.

The centerpiece this time is a marvellous light installation named the Lap Lip after the common Malay term for festive fairy lights.

Standing right in front of MHC’s main building, the huge fixture is hard to miss. It’s especially bright at night, as neon lights illuminate the structure in various hues.

But the Lap Lip isn’t just a visual experience, as it also promises to be an immersive and engaging one.

Step into the centre of the installation, and you’ll hear familiar soundscapes from the vibrant bazaars of past Ramadans.

In that moment, you can briefly forget about the quieter surroundings outside and relive your fondest Ramadan and Hari Raya bazaar memories.

Cultural & food event line-ups for Hari Raya

Besides the beautiful lights, MHC also has a host of exciting events lined up for Hari Raya, from now till 13 Jun.
