Even New Strait Times reported about this event!

Pulsating Soka Gakkai night

It’s intergrated culture as Soka Gakkai members perform an Indian traditional dance.

KUALA LUMPUR: About 900 young performers, aged seven to 20 years old, captivated the audience at the recent celebrations of Soka Gakkai Malaysia’s 24th anniversary.

Members of the Soka Gakkai organisation form a human tower.

The “Goodwill and Cultural Night” also marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Soka Gakkai culture centre near Taman Kota, Cheras, and the visit by the organisation’s Japanese founder Dr Daisaku Ikeda to the centre 20 years ago.

Soka Gakkai, which means “value-creation society”, was set up to contribute to the well-being of the country and promote friendship, family happiness, racial harmony and peace.

It is based on Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhist philosophy of humanism, compassion and respect for the sanctity of life.

The audience comprised Soka Gakkai members, guests and people who live near the centre.

The show included performances by exponents from Seri Silat Lincah Taman Sri Nanding, hip-hop dancers, a choir, brass-bands and a gymnastic team.

Among the performances were a contemporary dance with a pyrotechnic show and young boys creating human towers.

All the performers joined in a rousing rendition of the High School Musical theme song.

Federation of National Writers Associations of Malaysia president Tan Sri Prof Emeritus Dr Ismail Hussein was among the guests.

We had been working very hard for the past few months and a lot of issues / problems / quarrel all happened in the way of running the event, but we manage to sort it out one by one and each and every of the rehearsal and performances was great and achieved victory! I would like to thank all the working committee, SMG PIC and Crews. We made it and create another history. Even the last day was too hectic as it rain on and off till 8.00pm, we had resolved to plan B and those music band and choir was not able to performance that night but all in all it’s back to our gakkai spirit and we had achieve great victory.
