Assalamualaikum w.b.t.and good afternoon to all of you. Today i would like to share with my point of views about how to preserve our culture especially wedding culture. As people know, Malaysia is country that has a lot of races and ethnics such as Malay, Indian, Chinese, Kadazan, Melanau, Bidayuh and many more. As there are have lots of races, it is means, there are also have lots of culture and tradition that has been practiced. Although there are have some differences of wedding culture for now and then, as a Malaysian citizen, we need to protect and preserve our wedding culture that still have until nowadays. For instance, Malay's wedding culture is need to have several step before wedding ceremony or akad nikah and India need to have a wedding reception in front of fire set up and Chinese need to have their wedding in red colors of dress code. At first, one of the ways or strategy to preserve and protect our wedding culture is by keep practiced doing a traditional culture in wedding ceremony. For example in Malay's wedding culture using a gotong royong or cooperation from people among villagers without doing a catering services, use a original kompang for bersanding reception and songket for bridal wedding dress. It same goes to other races such as Indian and Chinese that they also need to practices their traditional custom, ritual in their wedding ceremony. This is because, our generation can know and familiar with their own wedding culture without influenced by other wedding culture such as western wedding culture. Indeed, our next generation do not get confuse with wedding culture that they want to follow. Then, family need to bring and exposed their children to museum or any occasion that follow the traditional custom and ritual. By doing this, the children can have their own knowledge and experience about wedding culture that they are need to follow and respect.This situation simply like a situation when the National Day events when all the races wearing their own traditional dress code to show to others and being respects with the dress code. Thank you.
