Nice!

Wow, that's super clean.

I otoh am [still] looking for a passable lemmy desktop client. I really wanted crossposting to pop a modal dialog instead of going to a new page. Also the ability to switch between accounts, or better yet, viewing 2 instances side by side, as right now there's a lot of horizontal dead space. I might cook up my own [i]frame html setup but too lazy lah.

On my phone, stock is passable. Don't want it to be too nice else I become addicted.

I suspected but nice to have some anecdotal proof hehehehe

Normal people tengok wayang, these people became wayang. 24/7 pulak tu.

Welcome!

I think many are aware now, but it was indeed a widely held misconception that Raya is the New Year among the Chinese. In fact, even till now Raya is sometimes referred as Malay New Year (the literal translation of 馬來新年) in the Chinese speaking community, though not officially, but common enough to keep the misconception alive.

One of the reasons might be that for the Chinese people, the New Year (Spring Festival) is generally the most important - thus most greatly celebrated - occasion in a year. And as we observe how Raya is celebrated, especially in relative to other occasions, it's perhaps not too surprising that we assume the same it is for the Malay/Muslim as well.

Indeed some Chinese have the same misconception about Deepavali with the Hindus.

And I think in general we're doing better now, including in education - sad to say, but I don't remember my teachers (in SMJK) bothered to teach or clarify this with us when we're growing up (another reason the misunderstanding was rife) . But I think many Chinese are more respectful in this regard today.

I only realized that yesterday when my Malay friends were talking about it. Heck one of my Malay friends didn't know as well, or he probably forgot about it as he grew up 😂

Nope. But I did thought so when I was much younger, like in school.

Is it not :o

Because to me chinese, cny is the biggest celebration and Raya Aidilfitri share very similar traits

Sorry me ignorant 🙈
