Set to revive the echoes and spirit of Merdeka in a foreign land, it is an evening of patriotism, elegance, and style; a fine dining setting organized with hope to kinder relationships among Malaysians in Canberra, and also to bridge the Malaysian and local communities through one multi-hued event.

So come and join us at the majestic Royal Theatre of the National Convention Centre, Canberra. Experience the diverse and unique culture of Malaysia through the various traditional performances throughout the night, and expect to be lavished with authentic Malaysian cuisine. (Think daging rendang, ikan assam pedas, lodeh, gado gado.. ) To add to the excitement, we would also be having raffle prizes up for grabs, with a return ticket to Malaysia as the top prize.

To Malaysians, it is your one opportunity to meet up with all the other Malaysians who are living in Canberra, to network, to recognize your leaders and to know who to seek when in need of familiarity and help.

To the locals and other internationals, this is your golden opportunity to witness the undying spirit of nationalism and union portrayed by Malaysians despite the physical distance of home from Canberra, and of course, to join in the fun!
