Only in Malaysia, a multiracial Christmas

Malaysians celebrate so many festivals each year but none as elaborate, merry and joyous as Christmas.

The Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists in this country know that as well as the Christians.

There's no white Xmas and the Santas here are too tanned and sometimes "metallic black", to quote a racist politician, but we celebrate Xmas as we celebrate all other festivals - in togetherness and regardless of race or religion.

So I can't understand how some Malaysians could feel otherwise, as in this article For Malaysian Christians, an Anxious Holiday Season. I believe these people are in the minority.

To everyone else, Merry Christmas! ... from Rocky's Bru
