Christmas Day or Hari Natal (in Malay) is a time of spiritual reflection on the important foundations of the Christian faith. It’s also a celebration of when Christians celebrate God’s love for the world through the birth of the Christ child: Jesus.
Christmas is a time for celebrations, with many families and friends come together to enjoy the festivities. Falling on Dec 25 every year, Christmas reminds us of the importance of giving and sharing with friends and family. Christmas is a time of new beginnings, an opportunity to start afresh and to grow from our learnings, to become more whole and connected.
The people of the country must remain united so that the country can continue to develop in aspects of economy, investment and eradicate poverty, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister in a Facebook posting said the Christmas Day celebration this year can serve as a momentum to show love, kindness, understanding and compassion among each other and spread goodwill among the various communities, irrespective of race, religion and background.
