Wesak Day in Malaysia.

Wesak day celebrated on 17th May by Buddhists which marks three momentous events in Buddha's life - his birthday, enlightenment, and achievement of Nirvana. Its declared as one of Public Holiday in Malaysia. That's the beauty of Malaysia, the multiracial and beautiful mixed culture. I hope, we still can unite in harmony...as we always be.

 1Malaysia. Everyone is free to practice their own belief............
I take this opportunity to wish the people of Buddhist faith a Happy Wesak day.

Gawai Day or Gawai Dayak is a festival celebrated in Sarawak on 1 June every year. It is both a religious and social occasion. The word Gawai means a ritual or festival whereas Dayak is a collective name for the native ethnic groups of Sarawak: the Iban, also known as Sea Dayak and the Bidayuh people, also known as Land Dayak. Thus, Gawai Dayak literally means "Dayak Festival". Dayak would visit their friends and relatives on this day.

Happy Gawai Day & Wesak Day to all Malaysian or popular known as 1Malaysia.........
