cultural celebrations and festivals, and most importantly experience HOLIDAY [ :D ]
Here is OUR day guys!!!!
1) Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Also known as Hari Raya Puasa, it marks the culmination of Ramadhan, during which Muslims the world over fast for a whole month.
This is also a time to forgive and forget past quarrels, where family members ask for forgiveness from friends and family members.
Celebrated worldwide by the Chinese to mark the first day of the New Year in the Chinese lunar calendar, the celebrations last for 15 days.
Expect fireworks, lion dances, the prominence of the colour red, and open houses with scrumptious Chinese meals!
3) Deepavali
Also commonly referred to as Diwali or Festival of Lights, the festival is significant to all Hindus as it symbolises the triumph of good over evil.
Oil lamps are lit to ward off darkness and evil, and like every other major cultural festivals in Malaysia, open houses are held.
4) Hari Gawai
It also marks the beginning of the new planting season, and activities such as dancing, singing, and a considerable amount of drinking tuak (rice wine) take place in the longhouses.
