MALAYSIAN'S CULTURAL DIVERSITY FESTIVAL
Malaysians observe a number of festivities throughout
the year. Festivals are observed by particular ethnic or religion groups, and
the main holiday of each major group has been declared a public holiday.
Muslim holidays are prominent as Islam is the state
religion; Hari Raya Puasa (also called Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Malay for Eid
al-Fitr), Hari Raya Haji (also called Hari Raya Aidiladha, Malay for Eid
ul-Adha), Maulidur Rasul (birthday of the Prophet), and others being observed. Malaysian Chinese celebrate festivals such as
Chinese New Year and others relating to traditional Chinese beliefs. Hindus in
Malaysia celebrate Deepavali, the festival of lights while Thaipusam is a
religious rite which sees pilgrims from all over the country converge at the
Batu Caves. Malaysia's Christian
community celebrates most of the holidays observed by Christians elsewhere,
most notably Christmas and Easter. East Malaysians also celebrate a harvest
festival known as Gawai. Despite most
festivals being identified with a particular ethnic or religious group,
celebrations are universal. In a custom known as "open house"
Malaysians participate in the celebrations of others, often visiting the houses
of those who identify with the festival.
