Wishing all our Muslim members and friends a Happy Islamic New Year 1437H
Awal Muharram or Hijri New Year is celebrated by Muslims as the day symbolises two important events in the Muslim year. Awal means beginning in English and Muharram is the name of the first month in the Muslim calendar. Islam has a calendar based on the revolutions of the Moon.
The day also coincides with the Prophet’s journey from Mecca to Medina on the first of Muharram in 622AD. To mark the occasion, Muslims attend various religious activities, spiritual singing, religious meetings throughout the country.

Wishing all our Chinese members and friends
“Happy Mid – Autumn Festival”
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a harvest festival celebrated by ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese people. The festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese Han calendar and Vietnamese calendar (within 15 days of the autumnal equinox), on the night of the full moon between early September to early October of the Gregorian calendar.
The festival celebrates three fundamental concepts which are closely tied to one another:
- Gathering, such as family and friends coming together, or harvesting crops for the festival.
- Thanksgiving, to give thanks for the harvest, or for harmonious unions
- Praying (asking for conceptual or material satisfaction), such as for babies, a spouse, beauty, longevity, or for a good future.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha (Eid al-Adha) to all our Muslim members and friends
Hari Raya Haji is celebrated to mark the end of the Muslim pilgrimage known as the haj. According to the fifth pillar of Islam, all able-bodied Muslims who can afford to do so are obliged to undertake this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. The haj retraces the journey of Prophet Muhammad’s pilgrimage to Mecca and must be undertaken during Zulhijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar.
