Lantern Festival


Dear Residents,

We are indeed very lucky to live in Malaysia and to be able to share our different cultural experiences peacefully. We have just celebtrated the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and now the focus will be on the Mid-Autumn or more well known to us as the Mooncake festival.

In China and Korea, the Mid-Autumn festival is a big deal where it is celebrated on a grand scale. And to commemorate this celebration, it is actually a national holiday there in these countries.

Back home, we have the unique mooncake which now comes in all sorts of assortment and flavours and its appeal is spreadout throughout the different communities in our country. Lanterns of different makes, shapes and sizes are also part of this unique celebration.

So, on behalf of the committee, we would like to wish everyone, especially the Chinese community, "Happy Mooncake Festival"! Bring out your lanterns tonight and enjoy yourselves...!
