With the theme set for the night ' '1001 Arabian Nights', the Malaysian Residence witnessed the presence of all officials from the Embassy of Malaysia and ladies from PERWAKILAN Amman graced the night with colourful Arabian garments and head covers.  It was a complete fresh setting for the Embassy's monthly get-together, as the Residence was full of Malaysian 'sayyed' and 'sayyidina'.

H.E. Dato' Abdul Malek bin Abdul Aziz and Datin Jamilah Talib have marvelous singing talent too!

Guest served with Malaysian food

Programmed to be an informal gathering between 'family members and friends' of the Embassy of Malaysia, the night was intermission with food and karaoke sessions.  To observe a 'sheikh' in his complete Arabian dress but singing a Malay song; was a totally bizarre but acceptable scene which took some time to sink in.  Praises were also due to the PERWAKILAN ladies, not only for the food they had prepared for the guests, but also for their courage to learn and perform the Arabian dance.  

Observing the laughter and smile on each and every face of all participants, the gathering was sure a memorable night to be remembered.
