Salam, to fellow bloggers and readers of this blog.
I would like to again take this opportunity to wish a Happy Chinese Year to all my Chinese friends out there.
It came across to my attention every time we jointly celebrated the Chinese New Year with our Chinese friends (or relatives) and seeing them burning firecrackers. I often think to myself; do any of them got injured while doing it?
Playing firecrackers has been part of their culture and religion but the quandary relating to this act with the Malay culture; especially during Hari Raya celebration is quite puzzling.
As a matter of fact, we have often read in the news about some Malay kids who had lost their fingers due to an injury while playing crackers but have we ever heard news on any Chinese kid who lost theirs?
The Malays perhaps are way too advanced in creating new explosives or probably they are not too happy with the usual standard firecracker and felt the necessity to create new ones for the sake of having fun?
It is indeed a food for thought!
HAPPY CHINESE YEAR AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
