Not sure how MIC’s Deepavali open house went today. Obviously, many Hindu would have better things to do than make a beeline to PWTC especially between 10am and 1pm today. So, I wonder how the crowd was. One thing for sure, there was no “gate-crashers” or “unruly” behaviour from the visitors.
The Star said this year’s Deepavali was a modest affair. NST attributed this partly due to the weather and flood (especially in the Northern states).
Some photos are shown here, taken fron Jinggo’s collection.
By the way, I find that people get confused easily between Hindus and Indians. Not all Indians celebrate Deepavali because its a religious festival. Even politicians and leaders get confused easily. Perhaps they are accustomed to Malay and Muslim relationship and extend it to Indian/Hindu.
