Upon arrival, these two pretty ladies greet you with smiles.
"Hi, Selamat Datang to our open house"
Happy Deepavali to these gentlemen who are smartly dressed in their traditional attires.
A thorn among the roses.
The open house is not complete without delightful, sumptuous food and delicacies.
A big turnout at the event. A big success.
Guests can also sit on the floor which is covered with colourful tikar (rug).
Happy posing for the camera.
All smiles on their faces. Unity and goodwill over-ride everything else.
I attended a joint Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Deepavali celebration today Tuesday, October 21, 2008 and I must comment that it was a very impressive open house from the hosts. The multi-racial hosts who dressed in their traditional attires had a great time together with their guests of all races.
Guests were treated to a sumptuous Malaysian buffet dinner that offered delights like satay, fried kuay-teow, chicken curry and other delicacies.
Malaysians celebrate all festivals of all races in the country by hosting each other at Open House. This is the uniqueness of Malaysia. It sees Malaysians of all races and religions celebrating each other's religious and cultural festivals together and proves that racial tolerance, understanding, respect and unity are observed and treasured in this multi-racial country. Lets hope the spirit of holding multi-racial gatherings like this will continue in Malaysia. By doing this all Malaysian can be happy in peace for ever.
Thumps up to the guys and gals for making this event a great success!
Malayisa Boleh!
