View issues with Tan Seng Giaw

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Rational view on Wesak on 1 May, 2007, in Malaysia, not on 31 May, 2007. 27.3.2007.

DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw spoke during the debate on the motion on Royal Address in Parliament on 26 March, 2007. He asked rationally on the difference in the date to celebrate Wesak in Malaysia, compared with other countries.

On 19 March, 2007, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong touched on national unity, the most important issue in the country. The unity of the people is the key to the success of the nation and society. We agree. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Merdeka, we have to review extensively the achievement and the failure of attaining unity.

Freedom of religion is very important for promoting unity. According to the Christian calendar, Jesus Christ was born on 25 December, 2007 years ago. Christmas is celebrated on that day all over the world, including Malaysia. According to the Islamic calendar, 12th Rabiulawal 1425 or 31 March, 2007, is the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, Maulidur Rasul or Maulud Nabi. On that day, the celebrations include a procession to the Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur; it will be a success.

As Prince Siddhattha Gautama, Buddha was born during the full moon at the end of April and May, 623 Before Christ (BC). This is Wesak, which will be celebrated in Malaysia on 1 May, 2007, 15th Day of the Third Moon, full moon, Lunar Calendar. But, in other countries such as Singapore, the celebration will be on 31 May, 2007, also full moon, 15th Day of the Fourth Moon, Lunar Calendar.

We hope that the Government will explain this difference of a month. I raise this matter rationally.

Dr Tan Seng Giaw
