PETALING JAYA: Deepavali is shining a little brighter this year, with festive cheer boosted by new government aid and transport discounts that are helping Malaysians stretch their ringgit further for the festival of lights.
Maithilli Devi Nermala Devi, 23, a nursing student in Kedah, cannot wait to return to her hometown in Penang for the celebration, made easier thanks to the latest government assistance.
