This is a day of penance and thanksgiving by Hindu devotees held in honour of Lord Subramaniam. The festival is best experienced in Kuala Lumpur where the deity’s jewelled chariot is led in a mass procession through the streets of the city, culminating at the Batu Caves in Selangor. An unforgettable sight is the thousands of devotees in a trance-like state carrying body-piercing Kavadis or ornate frames.

Febuary 18 2007: Chinese New Year
Location: Kuala Lumpur all over Malaysia.
Chinese New Year marks the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar and is celebrated over a 15 day period. Mandarin oranges and plum blossom stalks are used as decorations in Chinese homes and shopping complexes for prosperity and good luck. Animated lion and dragon dance performances accompanied by energetic drum, gong and cymbals add to the festive air. On the eve of Chinese New Year, family members hold reunion dinners followed by ‘Open house’ for relatives and friends. In previous years, the Chinese members of the Parliment have held "Open House" where food and drink will flow and which is open to both locals and foreigners. This is something that I believe is not practiced anywhere in the world. Similar open houses are held during Hari Raya and Deepavali.
