# M’sian Man Spends RM1K On Urumi Drum Troupe To Surprise Friend On His Birthday

##### Malaysia is known for its rich culture and friendly people, making it a place where there's always something new to discover. As society changes, more people are exploring and embracing each other's cultural traditions.

A recent TikTok video posted by [@atansharibun](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYdcaYyR/) showcased the beauty of Malaysia's multiculturaism, where a Malay man hired a group of Urumi Melam *(Indian drum)* performers on his friend's birthday.

**Speaking to WeirdKaya**, Atan shared that he was keen on doing something unique for his friend's birthday, which led him to the idea of incorporating Urumi Melam, a traditional Indian drum performance, into the celebration.

He added that he spent nearly RM1,000 on the performance but reiterated that it was worth the investment.

> **After all, we live in Malaysia, a place rich with diverse cultures. What better way to celebrate than by embracing and enjoying each other's traditions?"**
