SHAH ALAM, Nov 24 — The Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin graced the Malaysian Traditional Orchestra Outreach (OTM): Sounds of Malaysia (SOM) 2024 programme organised by Istana Budaya (IB) at Plaza Alam Sentral yesterday night.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 — Istana Budaya, a prominent hub for local art activists hosting international-level performances, will be closed for two years starting January 15.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Istana Budaya's move to implement a new standard operating procedure (SOP), beginning last year, with regard to the process and full procedure of renting its main hall, Panggung Sari, has helped overcome the national theatre’s problem of outstanding debts, which it has faced since 2010.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Istana Budaya will only stage live performances by early October as only 70 per cent of its staff have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which is among the conditions set for the relaxation of the standard operation procedure (SOP) for the creative industry to reopen tomorrow.
