Griffin here:

The video below you is a Hari Raya event (Hari Raya is the end of the Ramadhan fasting, it's a celebration). They did fake karate fighting, though it looked like it hurt. It seemed one guy always won. It was special fighting, but it was a religious celebration. There is a woman in one picture picking rice paddies.

There were men dancing traditional Malay dance. It was very beautiful.

They performed the dance in a mall.

Some people came over and took us to an indoor playground at the mall. They were friends from mom's work and they were Chinese Malaysians. Their names were Chee Leong, Pei Shee, and Aletea.
