Happy Deepavali. :)



Dear readers,
the time has already for all our Indian friends to celebrate their 'Row of Lights', or 'Diwali', or what we also call the 'Festival of Lights'.
It is a celebration of the victory of good over evil, the uplifting of spiritual darkness.
On the day of Deepavali, many will wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks.

In Malaysia, Diwali is known as "Hari Deepavali," and is celebrated during the seventh month of the Hindu solar calendar. It is a federal public holiday throughout Malaysia. In many respects it resembles the traditions followed in the Indian subcontinent. 'Open houses' are held where Hindu Malaysians (Malaysian Tamils) welcome fellow Malaysians of different races and religions to their house for a scrumptious meal. This is a practice unique to Malaysia and shows the goodwill and friendly ties practised by all Malaysians during any festive occasion.

 So here, we BODs of BSM SL(Y) 119,
would like to wish all of you Indians out there,
Happy Deepavali.
No to forget other races, too.
We're now One Malaysia.
Nothing gets in the way of our solidarity :)
