Racial Harmony

Now, I would like to say that racial harmony is also shared among Malaysians where the main ethnicities, Chinese, Malays and Indians live together, work together, share businesses, live next to each other and some get married and have mixed kids :) . Apart from that, the best thing about people in Malaysia is that on special occasions, main festivities such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri which is celebrated by muslims(of majority are Malays), Chinese New Year which is celebrated by the Buddhist Chinese and Deepavali which is celebrated by Indians are all celebrated together. On Hari Raya, the Malays would invite everyone to come to their 'open house' on which they will be serving Malaysian delicacies and will welcome everyone with open arms and great hospitality to their homes. Friends and family who are of different race celebrate together on that happy day to chit chat and share their thoughts and experiences and all of them would enjoy themselves not thinking about their color,religion or even ethnicity. This is what i call harmony among races. Moreover, on Chinese New Year, the similar activities stated before would take place, the difference is the food, which mainly traditional chinese foods are served and the decorations. Some procedures would be different but whats most important is the racial harmony share among Malaysian's as we live together under one big roof, which we call home.
