It's good have Thaipusam as a public holiday in Singapore. It will give a chance for fellow Singaporeans to participate and appreciate fellow Singaporean's rich culture and spiritual values. 🙏 👍😊

[@cindysin2347]

This has to be one of the most spectacular celebrations in Malaysia.

[@qwertypoet2386]

Did you know that Thaipusam is a public holiday in Singapore when we first gained independence? Now you know.

[@PaganMin-1966]

yes i remember during the 80s it used to have a public holiday, now government too stingy decided not to have one

Respect you guys, i can see only kaavadis are dancing. Pure devotional.

Thaipusam is a festival of 2 of each country, It has Southeast Asian countries.

Thaipusam AND Easter have always been Public Holidays.... until "someone" decided that they shouldnt. The Gov have to bring back the PUBLIC HOLIDAY status for these two very IMPORTANT DAYS! For the ignorant, Easter is as important to ALL Christians/Catholics as Good Friday and Christmas!! (MANY will even say, MORE SO!) As for Thaipusam, i've no doubt that its a VERY IMPORTANT day for most Indians too. Considering that here in Sg, PUBLIC HOLIDAYS have taken on an "optional" status, with MANY Companies and businesses choosing to still be open/operating on those PHs, AND working from home(WFH) is already a norm for many entities, there is no reason why Thaipusam AND Christmas should not have their PUBLIC HOLIDAY status mandated back to what they are supposed to be in the first place!

It is incredible how in the middle of an advanced civilization they do not understand that all these types of things are pagan.

[@dragonborn6960]

Sure worship a jew nailed to cross doesn't seem a pagan thing for you...😅😅..

[@dayylogg9716]

We do not know for how long they still can celebrate Thaipusam before transitioning to a one world religion.

[@exelerator1082]

Will never happen tbh

[@saraswathykrishnan1718]

Abrahamic religions will never give freedom like Hindus to worship other faith except theirs

[@Rated-u1d]

please elaborate , what is your so call " one world religion" ?

[@mahenmahen1238]

In your dreams
