Colours of Malaysia: Food, Festivals, and Friendship
Living in Malaysia feels like being in a never-ending festival. We have three main races, which is Malay, Chinese, and Indian, plus many other ethnicities, which means... LOTS of culture, LOTS of food, and YES, LOTS of public holidays Whether it’s Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Gawai, Kaamatan, or even Thaipusam, you can bet we’re either eating good food, dressing up in traditional outfits, or visiting each other’s open house (yes, we invade lovingly with tupperware ready).One of my favourite things is how we share these moments. We’ll celebrate everything together, even if it’s not our own culture. Multiculturalism it’s literally part of our everyday life, from the food court to the classroom to the way we talk (sometimes three languages in one sentence), and that’s Malaysia
