KUALA LUMPUR: At the corner of Jalan Sultan, near the Pasar Seni MRT station here, stands a vintage building which is home to the Selangor Yen Keng Benevolent Dramatic Association that has conserved the old art of Chinese opera or Xiqu for decades.

For the upcoming Chinese New Year (CNY) celebrations beginning Feb 1, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), in line with the Malaysian Family aspiration, has appointed production house TVC Keluarga Malaysia to produce a wholesome commercial that is inspired by a true story of the dying art.
