chinese celebration need to be non religious but what about Muslims' celebrations?

Pesta Ang Pow events are cultural, not religious
PUTRAJAYA: The various Pesta Ang Pow events held at local universities in conjunction with the coming Chinese New Year should not be misconstrued as “religious” festivals.
Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the New Year celebrations were purely cultural in nature and that participating in it did not go against any religious tenets or beliefs.
“Even those professing different faiths within the Chinese community celebrate it without any qualms. Besides, as one of the major festivals in the country, everyone regardless of race or religion celebrates it,” he told reporters after announcing the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Pesta Ang Pow event at his office here yesterday.
Liow, who is also MCA youth chief as well as a UKM alumni, said the dinner, which would include the signature Poon Choi (Giant Basin feast) dish planned by the university’s Pesta Ang Pow organising committee was halal.
In previous years, some quarters claimed that the Pesta and other similar events were religious celebrations.
This is the 13th year that UKM is organising a Pesta Ang Pow.
Liow said the ministry would also, for the first time, be organising its own Chinese New Year gathering for youth at Stadium Putra on March 3.
Deputy UKM vice-chancellor for student and alumni affairs Prof Datuk Dr Wahid Samsudin said undergraduates should be sensitive and tolerant towards each other.
“For some reason, I always find that it is easier to achieve unity through sports than cultural events. This is probably because sports doesn’t inspire so much sentiment as culture,” he said.
Liow also said this year was an exciting year for youths in the country as the Youth Society and Youth Development Bill, which had been tabled to Parliament, was expected to be passed in the coming session.

Now it my turn for my own point of view. The people in this country are totally absurb. Why can't the chinese have their celebration without being critised or being condemned with sentimentals from other counterparts of the *other race*?Why is it when the muslims can heled their religious ceremonies in the school compounds, Unis, and even my secondary school has it s own Masjid inside the compound!!
Is our government trying to MUSLIMISE our country? Slowly but surely..
Why does every celebration can turn into controversial issue and being criticised as religous..So what if it s true perhaps it is a religous celebration ?Why the muslims can do whatever they want and others can't?
It seemed to me the prospect of Malaysia growing into one multicultural,Multiracial and freedom of having and respecting of beliefs are dimmed. As the majority are very hypocritical and despise other religions. In the end the so called freedom is tied to the chains as we can see it.
The muslims can have their religious talks in public places but other religions are not allowed to do so or it will spark some troubles.
