Malaysia Edition
World Safe Crossing Day leads today's complete edition for Malaysia.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for roads, crosswalks, signals, ferry landings, station platforms, and the care people owe one another in motion.
Canadian Halloween is American Halloween with colder weather. The costumes are the same but the coats go over them. The little ninja who spent an hour on his mask is now a ninja in a parka and nobody can tell who he is. The pillowcase full of candy will last until November 10. The candy tax levied by parents is real and it is not optional.
Not a traditional Malaysian holiday, but adopted with enthusiasm by the younger generation. The clubs in Bukit Bintang host costume parties, and the shopping malls are decorated with pumpkins and skeletons. The celebration is secular, commercial, and fun, and the costumes are elaborate.
