The six celebrations observed in the past week in Malaysia are a testament to the country’s diversity, which is its greatest asset, said National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang.
He said the unity and diversity of races, cultures, and religious beliefs in Malaysia are important assets that must be preserved and upheld by all citizens.
“Many may not realise there were six celebrations observed in the country in the past week. The diversity in Malaysia is the greatest and most valuable asset to all of us.
“Only in Malaysia do we celebrate various festivals. We had Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Ugadi, Tamil New Year, Vaisakhi, Vishu Day, and Songkran,” he said on X, where he also shared photos of people from various backgrounds celebrating their respective festivals.
Yesterday, the Tamil community celebrated the Tamil New Year at Little India, in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, in a very special way.
The event was organised with the cooperation of various associations representing the Tamil and Hindu communities in the country.
Deputy National Unity Minister K Saraswathy reportedly said such an event should continue to be organised to foster understanding among the diverse communities in the country.
