For those of you who missed it Dec 22, 2007 was a significant date for the Christians as they were allowed to carry out the first ever Santa Parade in Malaysia. It was simple with a few floats but with lots of carolers singing in both English and Mandarin.
My daughter was so happy that she got to join in the parade with her godmother, my cousin and also my uncle. We went to watch them and halfway through, my 8 year old nephew rushed in to join in the 4 km walk.
About four thousand Christians took part in the parade with a majority from the Methodist denomination and a branch of the Catholic church. It is great that we Christians are finally allowed to celebrate our faith in public in Malaysia! Kudos to the Kuching authorities who granted the permission to hold the parade. Surely GOD IS GREAT!
