The project aims to ‘arm’ the kids from the ‘hood with artistic skills to give them a fighting chance to shine in one of Kuala Lumpur’s more eventful areas.

This second phase of Chow Kit Kita saw the work of 14 children on display, with special performances by renowned bands and performers, and an array of activities on the themed of ‘Local foods in Chow Kit’.

The action began at 1pm, with performances by the likes of Azmyl Yunor and Awi Rafael, and dance routines by the kids on the main stage, followed by a performance by signature Canadian rapper, Vandal.
