Celebrating the Warna-Warni of Malaysia at MCMC! 🇲🇾 From rattan weaving and poetry writing, to traditional cooking and our very own MCMC Squid Game 🎮 — August at MCMC was a month-long celebration of unity, patriotism, and national pride through Citrawarna Malaysia. Rooted in Malaysia’s rich heritage, these activities brought MCMCzens together in the spirit of #UnityInDiversity — reminding us that our culture, traditions, and differences are what make us strong as a nation. The programme concluded with a closing ceremony graced by MCMC leaders, where food, games, and crafts became more than just activities — they became a symbol of the heritage that continues to shape Malaysia’s identity. As we commemorate Hari Kebangsaan and Hari Malaysia, MCMC proudly reaffirms its commitment to celebrating not just independence, but the colourful traditions that make us Malaysians. #MCMC #HariKebangsaan2025 #HariMalaysia2025 #CitrawarnaMalaysia #Heritage
