In Malaysia, or rather, the capital - Kuala Lumpur, Christmas is a silent affair. Shoppers go dutifully to department stores that blast repetitive Christmas Carols while there's an occasional tiny performance or two in the mall/civic centre. On the streets, it is silent, people go about their business, and Christmas usually surprises them by coming too early. On TV, the ads are the same, no Christmas wishes except for the very few. But perhaps what is universal and unchanged about Christmas is what happens in families. Outside, it may seem overly quiet, but among family members, the event is often awaited with much pleasure and dread - depends on whether you're the receiver or the buyer of the presents. But Christmas, like those around the world suceeds in bringing together family and friends in one night of joy . That's Christmas in Malaysia. |
