Portuguese Settlement in Ujong Pasir, Melaka had never failed to attract thousands of visitors whom are mesmerize by the merriment and decorations put up by the residents during X'mas.
Private local companies like Julie's (buscuit manufacturer), Joy Advertising and Aik Cheong Coffee had lent more cheer into turning the Settlement into a near fairyland.
I overheard a local youth (probably a little drunk) raising his angry voice at visitors looking into their homes and made them felt like animals in the zoo. Can't blame the youth over his concern and I felt that too even as a visitor.
The 2010 celebrations was supposed to be merrier with the announcement that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin would be joining in the national-level X'mas open house celebrations which other fellow Malaccans had looked forward to as well.
However, it was not to be as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin was not present though the event had attracted 10,000 guests which Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was also expected to attend.
Perhaps there too many cruxifixes/crosses to remove and singing of X'mas songs for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as took place at another X'mas tea party he attended. Why bother harping on 1 Malaysia when such tolerance cannot be accepted?
Only a Senior Minister currently embroiled in a "super hot" Indonesian rape claim attended the national-level event with Malacca’s Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam being the main VIPs. What a let down!
So what's the cue here for UMNO and Barisan Nasional's 1 Malaysia?
