Mak Yong- My Malaysian Heritage

Mak Yong is quite a popular dance art in the olden days. It is known that nowadays it is not a popular dance any more. I guess its because of the controversy that was spearded during that time... This causes this dance art to fade away with time... I myself don't know about Mak Yong until i read the play on Mak Yong in Now Read On... It really brings my curiousity to get to know about this dance art that was no longer known by younger generation... I feel that the people concern such as the Ministry of Art should look into this matter and try to bring into life this form of dance art. This is vital as the younger generation should get to know 'bout their own culture. I feel this dance art should be preserved as a not only a Malay tradition but as Malaysian tradition. This is one of our heritage so we should be proud with it despite the controversy that occur with this dance art.
