Different strokes for different folks: Hussamuddin showing his multilingual CNY greeting card written in Jawi, Chinese, Malay, English and Tamil.

Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub said he was delivering his e-greeting card in multiple languages to drive home an important point -- that differences in written symbols do not alter the meaning of the words.
