Thanks, Abel. For us at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman's (UTAR) Foundation Programme, the season finally come to an end with a staff bash in the middle of January! The Christian staff hosted a simple Christmas party which was attended by about 50 lecturers and other staff.As you can tell from the pictures that for us, Malaysians, food is central to any party! We ate -- and ate -- sang carols, heard a short description of the First Christmas and went home with a gift each. Gift exchange was part of the programme.
Paul Davidson (pic: guitarist, left) helped us with the singing by providing the musical accompaniment. His team was made of two other lecturers who took guitar lessons from him. And this was their first public performance!
What made the party better was that Malaysians of other religions also joined in the fun. In many workplaces, this is a common practice in Malaysia. At each other's festive occasions, we join in and enjoy the diversity!
Now, why can't some communities and the nations of the world behave the same?
