Holidays
Good morning to the panel of honourable teachers, and friends. On this fine morning, I would like to talk about Malaysian Holidays .Our country of Malaysia is the home of people of different cultures and ethnic groups. The majority of Malaysians are Malays. Besides Malays, there are Chinese, Indians, and so on .We live here, Malaysia, peacefully without wars amongst ourselves . To students, a public holiday means having fun and relaxing. We students will get tired of school if holidays didn’t exist. Spending our time on a holiday also means we could spend some time with our family. A five-day school week gives us less time to hang around with our families. During the weekends, our time is usually spent in shopping malls with either our family or buddies . On Hari Raya, Malay kids would be elated to have ‘duit raya’. My past years of going around the village have passed, leaving good memories such as being chased by a goat with my cousins. When I turned ten, I felt awkward being around little kids while collecting the ‘duit raya’..
Even though the spirit of togetherness is being overshadowed by the stress of a teenager’s life, we still somehow find a way to make holidays with our families interesting. The Chinese celebrate a lot of festivals. There is a list of the celebrations, but I’m going to talk about two only. I’m not sure what they celebrate on the Moon cake festival, but what I know is that there are loads of moon cakes. Yum! The most obvious and marking the firstday of the New Year of the Chinese calendar, is Chinese New Year. Lion dance and parades are held, full of excitement.Last but not least, The quietest of all the festivals known to my brain, Deepavali. I’m not the whiz of the details of the festivals in this country. The kolam is a decoration they make out coloured rice. The other thing that I know is they eat murukku. A delicious, country treat. Lastly,
