When the clock struck 12 midnight, the people outside at Gurney Drive Scream and shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and spray artificial white snow everywhere. The party people in the night club count down to Christmas too. They hug and drink till they cannot stand still. All of them are so happy! They are celebrating Christmas - for the wrong reason.
Do they know the meaning and the story of Christmas? Business people are commercializing Christmas. They are doing it so well that the true meaning of Christmas is overshadowed by Booze and party! Why don't they commercialize Wesak Day? Hari Raya Haji? Deepavali? Muhammad's Birthday?
Imagine This for a night club promotion:
Happy Wesak Hour!
RM 30.00 One Jug
Haji Nite Special
10% discount for all HAJIs
Muhammad's Ladies' Nite
One Man 4 ladies (must be married to the man)
