This Saturday evening, expect to see lots of Punjabi ladies walking down Jonkey Street, the historical Chinatown of Melaka.
The visit to Jonker Walk is one of the activities lined up for a ladies two-day fellowship event at Gurdwara Sahib Melaka that begins on Dec 10 (Saturday).
The event organised the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council (MGC) Istri Satsang is an annual get together of ladies.
Last year’s Istri Satsang Salana Semagam, as the event is called, held at the Khalsa Land in Kuala Kubu Bharu from 3-6 Dec 2015, attracted some 300 participants and volunteers.
The event will start at 8am and participants will bid goodbyes at 2pm on Sunday. Participants can join on Friday evening. Food and lodging will be at the gurdwara.
The event will feature a seminar by Dr Karminder Singh at Bayview Hotel; kirtan and katha by local jathas; a forum by Balbir Kaur, Harjit Singh and Amar Kaur.
“We are expecting participation of ladies from all four corners of the nation,” MGC Istri Satsant head Dr Amarjeet Kaur tells Asia Samachar.
“We look forward to meeting up with our dear sisters once again. In the future, we plan to include our sisters from Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore.”
The Istri Satsang Division of the MGC was formed eight years ago.
