Holiday for Thaipusam an act of goodwill


A FEW days ago, the Mentri Besar of Kedah, Datuk Mohd Sanusi Md Noor, announced that the holiday that Kedahans have enjoyed for Thaipusam in the last six years has been withdrawn. This naturally earned the wrath of Indians in Kedah.

Indian-based political parties as well as Indian/Hindu organisations throughout the country have voiced their displeasure and protest against the MB’s decision.
