The George Town Festival, and the Putrajaya International Islamic Art & Culture Festival are two other immensely successful events which have succeeded at piquing local interest in the arts, and inspiring many others to follow.

Malaysian youths find themselves increasingly drawn to western culture and larger-than-life concerts by popular personalities or musical talents.
