SELAMAT HARI RAYA





Today is the first day of Hari Raya celebration for all Muslim in the world. After one month of fasting, all Muslim start to celebrate this important event in Muslim calendar. In Malaysia, festival like Hari Raya is celebrated by not just Muslim, but with peoples of all faiths. Perhaps, you can find this festival is celebrated within a Malaysian family which consists of different faiths. This shows the importance of ‘blood relationship’ which bind a family together. We Malaysian are proud in this and just wonder why this can happen in Malaysia (and more interestingly, in a family) but not in some other places. Gary’s Garden believes peoples of all faiths can co-exist as we believe all living creatures have their rights to live in this world. So, why bother what religion he or she adopts? More important thing to do is to live happily in this world, right?

Gary's Garden wish to post a few flowers to reflect the diversity of Malaysian of all faiths and races.

Hi Gary,
Princess told me about your lovely blog. I came here ealier.

I am a non-practicing Catholic but I grew up in an environment of Muslims in Mindanao, Philippines. Some of their struggles are my struggles too. Religion is not an issue but a dream of peace, prosperity and harmony in my troubled land.

I like your blog - wholesome - unlike mine.

Best wishes to your Hari Raya celebration.
