Festivals

The people of our country come from many races. Each race have its own beliefs, culture and of course festivals. We, together, celebrate many festivals.

Hair Raya Aiditfitri, Chinese. New Year, Deepavali and part in. During these occasions, e visit one another regardless our ethnic our ethnic origins. These are the times for merry-making and relaxation. The cities are deserted, people are dressed in their best and sound of exploding fire-crackers fill the air.

Food and drinks are offered and taken freely, for these are times for enjoyment and not for worrying about dieting.

Besides these festivals, there are minor ones that are celebrated with less fervor. Hair Raya Aikladha Chap Goh Mei, Thaipusam and Easter are some of these. They are, on the whole, celebrated only. Thus they are not on a grand scale.

Whatever festivals they are especially the major ones, I always enjoy, for usually, are also public holidays. What day is better than a holiday, festival or not?
