PETALING JAYA: Today is a solemn time for Christians marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday, but for Tamils, Sikhs and Malayalees it is full of joy.
While the Tamils observe the new year celebration of Puthandu, Malayalee Hindus will have a similar festival to mark Vishu. The Sikhs, meanwhile, will observe Vaisakhi, commemorating the formation of the Khalsa.
