Different faiths, but Deepavali still a time to be joyful, says five-time Mr Asia


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): We may be of different faiths, but a mother's blessings remain important, says national bodybuilder Mohd Syarul Azman Mahen Abdullah, who will be celebrating Deepavali with his mother, S.Neelavathi, on Sunday (Oct 27).

The 46-year-old from Kuala Lumpur, fondly known as Mike, embraced Islam when he was 19, but has not missed a single year of the Festival of Lights with his family since then.
