Voyage with Ambassadors 2
Malaysia is one of the most popular tourist destinations among Hongkongers. However, Mr Muzambli Markam, Consul General of Malaysia in Hong Kong and Macau, says that to truly understand its people, we should start by learning about Eid al-Fitr. He will invite Maisy to attend a Hari Raya party at his home, where she will learn about traditional Malaysian clothing and religious culture, try some indigenous foods, and even play Congkak, a well-known game of wits enjoyed throughout the nation.
On the subject of games, Mahjong is perhaps one of the most traditional strategy games in existence. To help Mr Markam better understand the artistry of mahjong craftsmanship, Maisy will ask Master Cheung, who has been working as a mahjong tile carver for over 50 years, to guide him in creating a Malaysian-themed mahjong tile.
Did you know that a time-honoured medicated oil, which is a household essential in Hong Kong, actually originated in Malaysia? As residents of our city, Mr Gan and his son – the brand’s third- and fourth-generation successors – combine the Malaysian human touch with the adaptability of Hongkongers to devise their own unique business strategy.
