LETTER | Reinstate cancelled cuti peristiwa for Thaipusam in Kedah
A
LETTER
| The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) strongly urges the menteri besar of Kedah to reinstate the
cuti peristiwa for Thaipusam in the state by respecting the freedom of religion as protected by our Federal Constitution.
MCCBCHST stresses that there is no place for religious repression which is against the fundamental rights of non-Muslims guaranteed to all persons by Articles 5-13 of the Federal Constitution.
Thaipusam is a religious event celebrated by Hindus throughout the world and in Malaysia annually.
As the majority of Indians in Malaysia are Hindus, Thaipusam celebration, therefore, has been proclaimed as a public holiday in the states with a high concentration of Hindus.
