Happy Deepavali to Malaysian Indians in particular and Malaysians in general.
The Deepavali Festival of Lights celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair.
Let all Malaysians be inspired by the Deepavali message to build a free, just, democratic, prosperous and competitive multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation which is a model of unity, harmony, moderation and tolerance to the world – instead of being a troubled and divided country.
B careful, NOT too loud n NOT too much publicity abt dis festival of “victory of light over darkness, good over evil”, etc
U might hurt some grps’ religious sensitivities n b asked 2 face seditious charge
