KUALA LUMPUR, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi hopes that the Tamil New Year and Vishu celebrated by the Tamil and Malayalee communities today will bring about a harmonious beginning to life, good health and abundant blessings for all who celebrate it.

Through a post on his Facebook page, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said that both celebrations have their own unique cultural and historical significance.

‘Let us use this spirit of togetherness to continue strengthening the foundation of unity among us, rich with various backgrounds and cultures, in line with the Malaysian MADANI spirit,’ he said.
