SOKA Gakkai Penang held its cultural night on April 30 at its Penang Culture Centre in Bayan Lepas.
The function officiated by Penang Deputy Chief Minister 1 Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon was celebrated by a crowd of some 1,000 guests.
O r g a n i s i n g chairman Lee Kam Heng in his welcome speech said the aim of the function is to instill the spirit of unity and peace
among Malaysians, especially in the neighbourhood of Sako Gakkai’s premises in Bayan Lepas.
This befits the theme of “Connecting Hearts, Creating Harmony”, Lee added.
“For this evening, guests will be treated to various cultural performances including Malay, Chinese, Indian, modern dance,choir, orchestra and gymnastics – all conveying the message of peace and harmony.
“Some 370 participants, with the youngest at seven years old and the oldest 85, will take part,” Lee said.
Meanwhile, Rashid said Soka Gakkai carried out numerous activities not only for self-development but also for the community.
Rashid hope that the culture centre being a new building will spread its value in education through exhibitions, conferences and forums
