In Malaysia, religious freedom is guaranteed under Articles 3 (1) and 11 (1) of the Constitution, according to which free promulgation of all religions has long been practised. Malaysian nationals are able to choose their own faith in accordance with their own tribe, lineage or personal will.

Multi-religiousness and multi-culturalism are a unique characteristic of Malaysia. Every year, followers of different religious faiths celebrate one festival after another, from Deepavali, Aidilfitri, Christmas to Chinese New Year, and the joyful occasions are shared by all in this land. Indeed, we should cherish and treasure this tradition. Meanwhile, Article 152 (1) also assures us of the freedom of language, enabling Malaysia to maintain her multi-cultural image.

During the Christmas period, shops are full of various seasonal items, and the Biblical stories are familiar to us all. The best-known tradition is nothing other than the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and the best-told story about the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, which symbolises life and the discerning power to tell good from evil.

Guiding the world to the path of righteousness is a mission common to all religions. All faiths eventually lead to the same teaching and, by extension, one would gain a righteous heart should one adhere to one¡¯s religion truthfully and in earnest. Therefore, if those in authority have the interests of the people at heart in every decision that they make, their good names will be remembered for generations to come, otherwise they will become a bad example.

Candles are lighted on the Christmas¡¯ Eve. They are meant to light up the world. Apart from Christianity, many other religions such as Hinduism and Islam have also given positive meanings to candlelight. However, several decisions by the government in recent days are in contradiction with the public will, and many people have become confused as a result. It is sincerely hoped that our country will come out of the gloom sooner, so that the light of the world will shine through this beautiful land and bring goodness to all her children.
