PETALING JAYA (Bernama): The Deepavali celebration was felt throughout the country Sunday (Oct 27), as Malaysians continued to uphold the long-held tradition of visiting family, friends and neighbours, and this was apparent in S. Sarvinthanraj's family home here.

The 26-year-old teacher, who lives with his mother, two elder sisters and a younger brother, in an apartment at Gugusan Kemboja in Kota Damansara, said that one of the best parts of Deepavali was being together with his family and to have friends from all races come to his house to share the excitement on this special day.
