MKN Lepak Santai With Media Friends
Majlis Kebudayaan Negeri Perak (MKN) hosted Program Lepak Santai MKN 2024, a lively gathering aimed at strengthening camaraderie between Perak’s cultural organisations and media representatives.
Held at Tower Regency Hotel in Ipoh, this event featured members from 29 creative organisations, highlighting the depth and diversity of the Perak’s arts scene.
Guests were treated to a delightful dinner, followed by engaging activities that highlighted the richness of Perak’s cultural heritage. Attendees, in mixed groups of media and other guests, joined in games, which included playing traditional musical instruments, and participating in a joget dance session.
