MP SPEAKS | Have floating holidays to mark minorities' festivals

MP SPEAKS | I wish all Hindus and other Malaysians who join in the celebration a very happy Thaipusam, a festival to commemorate the victory of the Hindu god Murugan over the demon Surapadma.

As we celebrate Thaipusam, I urge National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang and Human Resources Minister Steven Sim to consider introducing “floating holidays” to allow Malaysians with minority heritage to celebrate their cultural and religious festivals just like Malaysians from larger ethnic communities.
