KL Chinatown Festival 2024, the first of its kind, gathers a lot of different stakeholders, primarily driven by the businesses in Chinatown and spearheaded by the folks from Kwai Chai Hong, and REXKL- two spaces that, by now, are becoming modern landmarks in Kuala Lumpur. The founders join us in the studio to tell the story of their collaboration and their plan to get people from all walks of life to appreciate the past, but also look forward to the future, setting new narratives for Chinatown along the way.
