What's Happening in KL, 4th to 10th September
Merdeka month is closing out across the malls this week, with the last days of a bonsai-and-culture takeover in Bukit Jalil and a month-long national celebration still running at Sunway Pyramid. Add a luthier's sharing session, a Mid-Autumn whisky masterclass and an art exhibition that has been quietly running at Eslite Spectrum since July, and there is a mix worth the drive. Here is where to go, Fri 4 to Thu 10 September.
