Cleveland Malaysians at Lunar New Year celebration
There was a two-day celebration of Lunar New Year 2025 for the Year of the Wood Snake at Asia Plaza. There were performances,information booths, vendors, community resources, photo opps and, of course, food!ClevelandPeople.com was honored to be a Media Sponsor and have a table at the event. We brought our large map of Asia and it was very busy with people studying it and posing in front of it. As we like to do, we asked people to pose while pointing to the land of their heritage on the map. We were very happy at the diversity of people and made many friends. The heritages included China, Burma (Myanmar), Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Laos, India, Indonesia, Taiwan and more.

There were traditional and modern performances on two stages. There was something for everyone. Younger people really liked the Asian Pop Dance Competition. Plenty of martial arts on the second stage. And so on.

| | Malaysian History and Culture |
During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula except Singapore formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore, as well as Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo, joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's independence were marred by a communist insurgency, Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's withdrawal in 1965. During the 22-year term of Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad (1981-2003), Malaysia was successful in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to the development of manufacturing, services, and tourism. Prime Minister Mohamed Najib bin Abdul Razak (in office since April 2009) has continued these pro-business policies. Malaysia assumed a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2015-16 term. (From the CIA World Factbook)
