The kite flying activity organized by the Malaysian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai will return again, next Sunday, at Al Forsan Park.
The pavilion invited visitors and families to participate in the “My Butterfly Kite fly” event, where 250 items will be distributed to them, as well as competitions and prizes, in order to revive this centuries-old traditional hobby of children in Malaysia.

She added, "Kites are known as wau in the Malay language, and are formed with great skill and care in order to create the largest and most beautiful kite, and most importantly, they fly at the highest level, and these kites come in all shapes, sizes and colors, but the most famous is "Waw". Bulan (Moon kite), which is one of the national symbols of Malaysia.
The kite flying event seeks to spread awareness of the pavilion's #MyButterflyEffect brand campaign, as the social campaign aims to create a 'butterfly effect' for green growth ideas.

“Our pavilion prides itself on being carbon-neutral,” Lau continued.
In an example of our sustainability commitments for Expo 2020 Dubai, and we want to keep the importance of sustainability in the minds of our visitors and participants in the World Expo, the Butterfly Kite event is a great opportunity for us to create awareness of the #MyButterflyEffect brand campaign, and what it can do We are all to contribute to a better tomorrow, and we hope that every time someone flies one of our beautiful kites, or sees a butterfly, they will remember the impact of their actions in the future.”
