Kuala Lumpur,2nd October 2009 - APIIT &UCTI had their Annual Multicultural Night recently. Unlike previous years, this year was extra special as we had a sold out crowd of 1000 people. The night was intense right from the start till end, featuring performances from students from 51 countries. The theme being “Around The World In One Night”, basically represented the many different cultures and ethnics our students come from. The opening performance of the night was a Maldivian song called “Kal-Sa-Ru performed with a wonderful blend of music from acoustic guitars from a band that has been performing in weddings back in Maldives. Next up was a slide show presentation where all the International Countries flags of students were displayed at a mega screen above. After each flags of countries in a continent has been displayed, the continent shape on the world map hanging above the crowd would light up, “Simply awesome” quoted a student.

Next performance of the night was a performance called Dikir Barat consisting of our very own Lecturers and Staffs, that got a lot of cheers and applause from the crowd .This performance was accompanied by a folk song called “Wau Bulan”which is an intricately designed Malaysian moon-kite that is traditionally flown by men in the Malaysian state of Kelantan. Then began one of the highlight of the night where the whole atrium of the college went pitch black. It was indeed, time for the lightshow, together with some heart pumping music and laser light. The night then continued with a magic show from our young Egyptian magician that has been performing for more then 6 years. If you love seeing handsome hunks and pretty babes, next up was a Fashion Show Performance that had various display of different countries traditional clothing’s. Most of the crowd thought it was the end of the night after the fashion show, but there were a lot more in store for them. We had a Choir performance from the Botswana students singing the song Kopi which is a made of 100% human vocals. A Yemeni dance was followed next with 6 performers from the state of Sha-rah, Yemen, and this dance was one of the many famous dances in the southern region of Yemen. Next the crowd was entertained by a group of Indian students who has done shows at Segi College, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Antera Show with some hot tamil rap. Followed on was a Salsa Performance by 3 different International Students, we had Aigerim Issabaveya(Kazakhstan),Judith(Tanzania)and Nomin Tuvsanaa(Mongolia) with 3 other performers sizzling the crowd with their moves.
Nomin,Judith & Aigerim in actionThe next performance certainly was an eye catcher, compromising of of 3 different cultures which are Indians, Iranians and Mongolians as they grooved on stage with a Medley Dance that not only made the crowd follow them but cheer them on. The next performance was epic, heard of Phantom Of The Opera??We had our lecturers Ms Anita & Mr. Jerry sing an opera song that was made famous form a Broadway hit film for the very first time here in Multicultural Night!!!. As we have an enormous amount of Indonesian students here in APIIT-UCTI, we welcome upon stage next a performance called Ngarojeng by Persika Afu, which is a dance that is famous in the region of Jakarta, Indonesia and its called Rari Btawi or Ro-Jeng, performed mainly in weddings, graduations and as well as other various ceremonies. Performing the Iranian National Anthem was a choir singing performance headed by Arash, and the song is said to be 300 years old. Lecturers being lecturers, the next performance was by Ms Shamini & Mr Suresh &Mr Kesavan. Their dance was based on an ancient story from India based on an evil king and a beautiful young innocent princess.

Rendition of the song called “Ave Maria”.This traditional song tells us the story of Jesus mother, Mary. As the night drew close to the end ,the crowd was still pumped for more performances. Next was a Punjabi dance performance, featuring 8 dancers doing the Bhangra. Bhangra is originated in Punjab, India.
