SINGAPORE: Organisers hope to provide a unique Singapore Malay cultural experience to some 2,000 APEC delegates next month, during the official dining experience at the Esplanade waterfront.

Some 30 performers from Sri Warisan Performing Arts troupe will bring about traditional and contemporary performances, including a dikir barat performance in the four official languages, to the leaders of the 21 economies.

The arts group will also man the Malay Pavilion, which will display cultural items and handicrafts.

The delegates will have a chance to observe demonstrations such as weaving of ketupat and wearing of the sarong.

Set against the backdrop of Marina Bay and Singapore's city skyline, the event will also showcase Singapore's rich and diverse gastronomical delights.

The waterfront experience is part of the "Singapore Evening" - a showcase of Singapore's creative talents and heritage.
