Today, the 14th of April is a special day for Hindus & Buddhists throughout the world annually.
I understand that its a public holiday in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and even Fiji.
In Thailand and other Buddhists nations of South East Asia, the water splash festival “Songkran” began yesterday with massive excitement & revelry to usher in a New Year & New Beginning.
To all of comrades in AMK, PKR, DAP, NGO’s, colleagues, friends, associates and all Hindus & Buddhists generally, i wish them “Santhosam Endrum nam Valkayil Nirainthida…. Iraivan Thunai Endrum Nam Valkayil Irunthida….. Yaen Iniya Cittirai Puttandu Nal Valthukkal”. SELAMAT TAHUN BARU KEPADA SEMUA RAKYAT MALAYSIA YANG BERAGAMA HINDU & BUDDHA.
Coincidently, today also marks my first arrest by the police in the year 2000.
Saudara Shamsul,
Terima kasih untuk ucapan tahun baru :)
