		<description><![CDATA[Kuala Lumpur is a multi-racial city. The healthy racial mix provides pleasant excuses to celebrate a wide range of festivals all year round! The biggest celebrations are the Hari Raya (Muslims), Chinese New Year (Buddhist) and Deepavali (Hindus) with other small, traditional occasions in between. While Chinese New Year and Deepavali months of celebration are rather the same each year, the Hari Raya is sort of a &#8220;floating&#8221; celebration. This is because Hari Raya marks the end of Ramadhan (the fasting month) which is based on Islamic lunar years, which normally do not coincide with the Roman calendar. Sometimes this &#8220;floating&#8221; celebration happens together (or a few days apart) with either Chinese New Year or Deepavali. This give rise to joint celebrations known as Kongsi Raya (Chinese New Year &#38; Hari Raya), and Deepa Raya (Deepavali &#38; Hari Raya). Hari Raya Aidilfitri Muslims around the world celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also known as Idul Fitri or Idil Fitri in other countries). Aidilfitri literally translates to Celebration Day, after a month of holy fasting, which is referred to as Ramadhan month. Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year festival begins on the first day of the Chinese Lunar calendar, and lasts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Malaysia Tourism Centre was originally the home of Eu Tong Seng, a wealthy miner and planter. The colonial-style building miraculously survived the World War II and the Japanese Occupation. In 1941, it briefly housed the war office of the British Army. However, when the Japanese invaded Malaya during the Second World War, it became the headquarters for the Japanese Imperial Army until the end of the war in 1945. The MTC Building Soon after, the new government of the Federation of Malaya claimed ownership of the building. A conference hall was added and named the Tunku Abdul Rahman Hall, in honour of YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, the country&#8217;s first Prime Minister. Since then, the Hall has become the venue for numerous historical events including the Malayan Parliament in 1959 and the Installation Ceremonies for several of Yang DiPertuan Agong (Malaysian Kings). In 1988, the then Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism refurbished the main building, added two wings to the existing building and renamed it the Malaysia Tourist Information Complex (MATIC). MATIC to MTC The MTC was previously known as the Malaysia Tourist Information Complex (MATIC) but the name was changed to MTC on Feb 16, [...]]]></description>
