To ensure Ah Huat's performance is as authentic as possible, Maxis consulted with Kun Seng Keng (KSK) Lion and Dragon Dance Association. The pioneer in the lion dance community in Malaysia helped to bring the lion to life in the digital space, so that you can enjoy all the huat!

Here's how the Huat AR ang pows work:
