Let's still celebrate together

By WONG SAI WAN

THIS year is the first time year since 1996 that there are no more joint festivities. And there will not be Kongsi-Raya or Xmas-Raya or Deepa-Raya for some time yet. 

The last time this happened was in 1964 when Chinese New Year and Hari Raya were together.

WHY NOT ? BY WONG SAI WAN<P>The various calendars used the different communities in Malaysia have again resulted in such festivities falling on different months in our Roman-based calendar, but that is no reason for us not to rejoice together.
