Festive Chinese New Year mood is set in every mall this month and shoppers of Pavilion KL are bound for a festive celebration like none other. This Lunar Year of the Rooster, Pavilion KL’s iconic centre court is decorated beautifully with peony blooms amongst the rooster gallery exhibits. Apart from that, one definitely can’t missed the breath-taking Malaysia’s Largest Phoenix Replica set up at the court.
The concept of the ‘Phoenix’ come from the notion that one’s hard work, passion and blessings will give rise to receiving opulence, With this Pavilion KL’s grand decorations this Chinese New Year portray the humble Rooster transforming into a Majestic Phoenix, rising high into the sky, full of pride and beauty.
As with all signature festivals, Pavilion KL broke the records once again in the Malaysia Book of Records by presenting shoppers the ‘Largest Phoenix Replica’ in Malaysia, measuring 40 feet in length, 52 feet in width and 12 feet in height. The founder of the Malaysia Book of Records, Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi was also present to award the honourary certificate to Puan Sri Cindy Lim.
To kick start the celebration, the 8 Prosperity Lions and Lucky Drums provided a thundering welcome to the guests, signifying an auspicious start to the festival. The launch was officiated with a strike on the auspicious ‘gong’ by Datuk Seri Utama Tengku Adnan and Puan Sri Cindy Lim to awaken the Golden Rainbow Rooster, as a symbolic gesture to usher in the Year of the Rooster.
We were then treated to a powerful drum performance by award-winning local percussion group ‘Orang Orang’ Drum Theatre. We thought that was the finale of the event but we were wrong. As suddenly, we noticed an 88 foot long magnificent Dragon descending from the mall’s Spanish Steps to join in the performance.
At the forefront of practising benevolent acts of giving and supporting the welfare of the community, Pavilion KL’s on-going “Charity at Heart” initiative (which has raised over RM2.6 million to date for charity), has once again dedicated a Lunar New Year CSR initiative to benefit Old Folks Homes and the needy organizations nationwide.
