Malays in technicolor
Malaysia is a merry mix of Muslims, Indians, Chinese and Christians whose vibrant culture and traditions vitalize its calendar with a variety of celebrations and festivals that, in themselves, give every reason to visit the country. In every celebration, the tradition of holding an “open house” or “welcome all” provides the opportunity for the various races to visit each other to enliven the celebration. Muslim For Muslims, the two major festivals are celebrated namely Hari Raya Puasa (Aidilfitri) and Hari Raya Haji (Aidiladha). Hari Raya Puasa marks the end of Ramadan, which requires Muslims to fast for a month. Hari Raya Haji is celebrated on the 10th day of Zulhijjah (the month of Islam) when Muslims perform the Haj in Mecca and are in the final stages of their worship. In conjunction with the festival, Muslims who are capable are encouraged to perform sacrificial worship (ibadah korban) and, due to this, it is also known as Hari Raya Korban. Other than the two major festivals, Muslims also celebrate Maal Hijrah (Awal Muharam), which is a celebration of the Islamic New Year; Maulidur Rasul to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad SAW, and Nuzul Quran to commemorate the day of the revelation of the al-Quran among Muslims. Chinese Chinese Malaysian communities celebrate Chinese New Year on the first day of the Chinese calendar in January or February each year. The festival starts with the whole family gathering for dinner. The celebration lasts for 15 days to the day of “Chap Goh Meh”, which is celebrated on the night of the 15th day of the festival. The festival gesture or goodwill package “angpow” is a tradition that enlivens the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, especially for the children. For the majority of Chinese who are Buddhist, the month of May every year marks the arrival of Wesak Day to commemorate three important events in Buddha’s life: the day of birth, the day of the achievement of maturity of thoughts and the day of death. During the celebration, ceremonies and parades are normally held with prayers. In addition, there are other celebrations, such as the mid-autumn lantern celebration (Tanglung), Month of the Ghost Festival and Qing Ming. Indian For Hindu devotees, Deepavali, or the Festival of Lights, during the month of “Aippasi,” according to the Tamil calendar (October to November) is a time to rejoice. It marks the victory, brightness overcoming darkness, goodness overcoming evil, and wisdom over ignorance. The festival begins with prayers, followed by visiting of relatives and friends. In the evening, the house will be decorated with lights to enliven the festive atmosphere. Hindu devotees also celebrate Thaipusam in January as a sign of respect to the God Muruga. During the festival, Batu Caves in Selangor will be the focus of Hindu devotees carrying presentations above the “kavadi” to be presented to the gods. In addition, Hindus also celebrate Ponggal, Hindu New Year, Navarathiri and Kharthigai. Other festivals On 25 December each year, Christians celebrate Christmas, which marks the birth of Jesus with prayers in churches and visits to their relatives and friends. In Sabah and Sarawak, there are also the traditional ethnic festivals. In Sabah, in the month of May every year, the Kadazans will celebrate the Harvest Festival (Tadau Kaamatan), an important event to the farmer groups. Tamu Besar or Pasar Tahunan is a carnival created to organize traditional sports events. For the Dayaks, Ibans and Bidayuh in Sarawak, 1 June every year is a day to be awaited because, on that day, they will celebrate Hari Gawai. For the Dayaks, they will have specific celebrations consisting of Gawai Batu (beginning of the paddy planting season), Gawai Burung (celebration associated with a bad sign or nightmare), Gawai Bersimpan (thanksgiving upon completion of harvesting), Gawai Antu (celebration for the souls of the dead) and Gawai Kenyalang. Apart from the different races and festivals, Malaysians also celebrate Labor Day on 1 May, National Day or Independence Day on 31 August, Birthday of His Majesty Yang Di-Pertuan Agong on the Saturday of the first week of June, Birthday of the King/Sultan at state level and Good Friday for various states.

Junta pardon cuts Suu Kyi’s sentence
Jailed Myanmar civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi was among more than 7,000 prisoners who received pardons from the military junta on the occasion of the Buddhist Lent. The state media announced the amnesty Tuesday but only five of the 19 convictions of Suu Kyi were pardoned. “Chairman of State Administration Council pardons Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who was sentenced by the relevant courts,” the broadcast said. Suu Kyi, who has been in detention since she was ousted in a 2021 military coup, has been sentenced to 33 years in jail for a clutch of charges, including corruption, possession of illegal walkie talkies and flouting coronavirus restrictions. “She couldn’t be freed completely although some sentences against her were pardoned. She still has to face 14 cases. Only five cases out of 19 were pardoned,” a legal source said. Suu Kyi has only been seen once since she was held after the 1 February 2021 putsch — in grainy state media photos from a bare courtroom in the military-built capital Naypyidaw. The coup plunged the Southeast Asian nation into a conflict that has displaced more than one million people, according to the United Nations. Last week, Suu Kyi was moved from prison to a government building, according to an official from her political party. Myanmar frequently grants amnesty to thousands of prisoners to commemorate holidays or special Buddhist dates. The coup plunged the Southeast Asian nation into a conflict that has displaced more than one million people, according to the United Nations. The junta extended the country’s state of emergency for six months, a State Department spokesperson said Monday. The extension spelled a delay for elections the military had pledged to hold in August as it battles anti-coup fighters across the country.

Myanmar’s detained civilian leader Suu Kyi receives partial pardon
Jailed Myanmar civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been pardoned in five criminal cases, although she still faces 14 others, state media said Tuesday. A military coup in February 2021 plunged the Southeast Asian nation into chaos and widespread violence as the military junta launched a bloody crackdown on dissent. "Chairman of State Administration Council pardoned Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who was sentenced by the relevant courts under five cases," a state media broadcast said. The broadcast said the 78-year-old Nobel Peace laureate still faces 14 other cases. Tuesday's announcement was part of an amnesty of more than 7,000 prisoners to mark Buddhist Lent. The junta announced on Monday it would extend Myanmar's state of emergency by six months, state media said, which is likely to delay elections promised for August. Suu Kyi, who has been in detention since 2021, has been sentenced to 33 years in jail for a clutch of charges, including corruption, possession of illegal walkie-talkies and flouting coronavirus restrictions. "She couldn't be freed completely, although some sentences against her were pardoned. She still has to face 14 cases. Only five cases out of 19 were pardoned," a legal source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. Former Myanmar president Win Myint, who was also removed in the 2021 coup, would also be pardoned in two cases, the broadcast said. The announcement said 125 foreign prisoners would be released and pardoned. An unspecified number of prisoners facing the death penalty also had their sentences reduced to life imprisonment, it said. Health concerns Suu Kyi has only been seen once since she was held after the 1 February 2021, putsch -- in grainy state media photos from a bare courtroom in the military-built capital Naypyidaw. There have been concerns about Suu Kyi's health since her detention, including during her trial in a junta court that required her to attend almost daily hearings. She was moved from prison to a government building last week, according to an official from her political party. In July, Thailand's foreign minister said he had met with Suu Kyi, the first known meeting with a foreign envoy since she was detained. A junta spokesman told AFP the meeting had lasted more than an hour but did not give any details about what was discussed. Myanmar frequently grants amnesties to thousands of prisoners to commemorate holidays or special Buddhist dates. The junta released some 23,000 prisoners after the 2021 coup in a move that human rights groups feared at the time was aimed at freeing up space for military opponents. More than 24,000 people have been arrested since the military booted Suu Kyi's government from power, according to a local monitoring group. Almost 20,000 remain behind bars, according to the latest figures. Still popular Suu Kyi remains hugely popular in Myanmar, even after her international image was tainted by a power-sharing deal with the generals and her failure to speak up for the persecuted Rohingya minority. But many fighting for democracy have jettisoned her core principle of non-violence and taken up arms to try and permanently root out military dominance of Myanmar's politics and economy. The military cited alleged widespread voter fraud during elections in November 2020 as a reason for its coup, which sparked huge protests and a bloody crackdown. Those polls were won resoundingly by Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy, with international observers saying at the time the polls were largely free and fair. Conflict since the coup has displaced more than one million people, the United Nations says. According to a local monitoring group, more than 3,800 people have been killed since the coup, a figure the junta puts at 5,000.

Immortalized
Had he been immortal, Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero, would have turned 162 yesterday, 19 June 2023. But Rizal need not be god-like as envisaged by the cult-like organization that has appropriated his name. As the Austrian ethnographer, Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt, so famously said: Rizal was the “greatest man the Malay race ever produced.” Despite dying 126 years ago at the tender age of 35, Rizal has been immortalized enough because of his writings and deeds. Without question, Rizal was a brilliant man, being a writer, poet, sculptor, and linguist, in addition to being a doctor. He was also a patriot who battled for Philippine independence from Spain, although some would contend he was more of a pacifist who sought mere assimilation. Rizal was born in Calamba, Laguna in 1861, the seventh of 11 children of Francisco Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alonso Realonda, who were both well-educated and relatively rich as farmer-tenants of the landed friars from whom they leased land. Francisco and Teodora instilled a passion for learning and a strong sense of social justice in their children, especially Jose and his elder brother Paciano, who would later become a general of the revolutionary Katipunan. Rizal studied at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, where he excelled. He then studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas, where he considered himself a mediocre student, deciding to travel to Spain in 1882 to finish schooling and become a doctor. In Spain and during his visits to other European countries, Rizal would write several essays and his literary masterpieces, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterimo, thereby stoking the fires of rebellion in other heroes like Andres Bonifacio. Rizal was a firebrand in his discourses that when the Noli was released in 1887, mere possession of the book was made a crime by the Spanish authorities who jailed a UST student just for having a copy. Having formed the La Liga Filipina, acknowledged by some as the precursor and inspiration for the founding of the Katipunan, Rizal would be arrested, exiled to Dapitan and eventually tried and found guilty of treason by a kangaroo court. He was executed on 30 December 1896 after his trip to serve as a field doctor during Spain’s efforts to stem the Cuban revolution was cut short by accusations he was among the leaders of the revolution that broke out that year. Rizal’s death marked a watershed moment of the revolution, galvanizing more Filipinos to seek freedom by bearing arms and fighting the hated Spaniards. A fascinating and complex man Rizal was: A free thinker, a mason, and also a romantic lover. He was also a man of inconsistencies — both a fervent Catholic and a harsh opponent of the Catholic Church. He was a scientist who believed in the power of magic. While it’s difficult to put a finger on what kind of a man Rizal really was, undoubtedly, he was a product of his milieu. The Age of Enlightenment, the Romantic movement, and the ideas of the French Revolution all affected him, as much as he was angered by the corrupt and brutal Spanish colonial regime. Rizal’s life and actions continue to be important and relevant today. One only has to look at his works to see the unending struggle of Filipinos for justice and equality, if not against colonial masters, against homebred tyrants who continue to visit misfortunes on the country since the Spaniards left in 1898 and the Americans in 1946. As a national hero, considered the first among other heroes like Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini and Emilio Jacinto, Rizal had amply demonstrated how a single person could make a difference. Like everyone else, Rizal was a mere mortal. He was imperfect and made errors. He was, nonetheless, a remarkable man who made enormous contributions to the Philippines. At least on his birthday, like yesterday and every 30th of December to commemorate his martyrdom, Rizal deserves to be remembered and appreciated. True, Rizal had complicated and often tragic relationships with women, including one that nearly led to a fatal duel abroad with Antonio Luna over Nelly Boustead, and the last, with Josephine Bracken, who did not find favor with his family. Those relationships, however, reflect Rizal’s humanity and capacity for love. Rizal was a man who was enthusiastic about life and the people he cared about. Rizal left a legacy of love, optimism, and independence. He was a man who battled for his people’s rights and inspired them to fight for their own independence.

The comedian featured it on her vlog where she asked her mother, Meriam, to choose between P20,000 in cash or a box containing the helmet.
