My Raya Message

Ever since I was a young boy, my raya wish for my Muslim friends has never wavered much; I have always wished them well and togetherness with their families. And they have such strong family ties, much more than the Chinese or Indians I believe for they are unafraid of showing their love and emotions. That has always been a trait I have admired about my Muslim brothers and I'm glad for them. This year however, not only do I wish my Muslim brothers and sisters well but the entire nation as we go through an unprecedented political crisis... Hence my post;

Dear Friends, Never has Hari Raya Aidilfitri been celebrated in such times of great change and uncertainty for our nation. As our Muslim brothers and sisters prepare for the Aidilfitri celebrations, the entire nation is embroiled in political change amidst global economic upheaval. May a wise leader prevail from this and may his wisdom be focussed on bigger and more important issues to lead the country to better economic standing. Whatever the outcome, if we stay united as Malaysians and reject the racist policies raised by outdated politicians, we will come out of these uncertain times better and stronger as a nation. Our strength lies in our ability to celebrate our diversity; it is only through embracing each other's cultures and differences that we truly embody what makes Malaysia unique. I wish you a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri whatever your race, religion or political affliation. Let's all stand united and by God's grace, continue to grow and prosper in this beautiful country of ours as we rightly and truly should.
