A festival beyond religion


There’s something special about Chinese New Year. Unlike most other major festivals in the country, it is one that transcends religion, which is something the country needs.

THE beginning of the year is always a great time in Malaysia. There was the New Year, Tamils in the country just celebrated Ponggal and now Chinese New Year is upon us. Thaipusam is around the corner, after which Ramadan will start, culminating in Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
