Unique to Malaysia is the open house concept where during the various cultural and
religious festivals, friends, families and even strangers would visit the homes of those who
are celebrating the festivals. The guests would wish them well and enjoy the feast and
traditional festive delicacies prepared by their hosts.
Open house invitations to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year, Deepavali
and Christmas are excellent opportunities for Malaysians of different races to get to know
each other better and rejoice in their cultural diversity. By improving knowledge and
understanding on the various culture and traditions, Malaysians would be cooperative and
live harmoniously. Besides, neighbours could be of great help in times of trouble and doing
things together enhances understanding and networking among the various races in the spirit
of 1 Malaysia.
Many people take advantage of the holidays to go out with their families and friends to
many open houses around towns during these festivals. Some thoughtful hosts would even
offer transport for the disabled to attend their open houses. They make it a point to reserve
disabled parking lots for handicapped drivers. They also go to meet the disabled at their cars
and help them in their wheelchairs.
