A mesmerising lion dance display by hijab-clad Siti Aishah

[superadmin]

INDULGING in lion dance performance is a strenuous activity definitely not for the faint-hearted – what more for hijab-clad Siti Aishah Mohd Farulnizam who courageously lugged the lion head to deliver a jaw-dropping lion dance performance on high stilts.

The 16-year-old pupil of Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SMJKC) Sacred Heart in Balik Pulau raised eyebrows to a roaring applause by audience alongside her ‘sisterly’ Loh Foong Kee who is twice her age at 27 handling the lion’s tail.

For the record, Foong Kee is the daughter of Siti Aishah’s coach Loh Woon Sim. Performance by the duo which was uploaded on TikTok by user Ah Peng has at time of writing generated over 2.2 million views, over 112,900 likes and 5,498 comments.
