Malaysia This Week (9-15 Jan 2014)

Let’s start it off with some laughter! Time Out Comedy Thursday is back! It's that time of the month again for cheers, jeers and free beers. Time Out Comedy Thursday (TOCT) returns in January back to its old home at Velvet Underground, Zouk KL. Themed 'Comeback Kids', the premier comedy night will be headlined by comedy favourite Kavin Jay, while Keren Bala, Brian Tan, Captain Khaled and Sri make up the supporting acts. Hosting the night is Rizal Van Geyzel. As with most Comedy Thursdays, expect an evening of raucous laughter, hilarious gags and some political incorrectness not for the faint-hearted. Each ticket comes with one free drink. Make sure to be there on Jan 9th from 8.30pm-11pm.

Moving on from that, we have Royal Langkawi International Regatta happening from 13th January until 18th January. An event that has become the talk of Southeast Asia, the Royal Langkawi International Regatta will see more than 50 yachts competing in nine highly-charged racing classes. Do not miss the drama and excitement on the high seas. This event is going to take place in Langkawi, Kedah.

Let’s move on to something cultural, we have Ponggal celebration happening on 14th January. Thai Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by Hindu people at the end of the harvest season. It is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Hindu all over the world. Ponggal is regarded as a thanksgiving occasion. A highlight of the festival is the Ponggal cooking ceremony of boiling rice till it overflows, symbolising wealth and harvest. The festival is celebrated over a four-day period.
