Happy Christmas Day for all Christian friends.
It is good to know that this Christmas is celebrated with much peace despite the coverage about the possibilities of some disturbances that might cause problems for our Christian friends.
The Indonesian government also had taken proactive measures to apprehend suspects before the Christmas celebrations which had contributed to the peace and harmony on 25th December.
Living in a multi-racial and multi-religious community in Medan, it is important that everyone respect each other's culture and religion. Freedom to practice each other's faith is enshrisned in the Pancasila and therefore should be celebrated.
Happy Christmas again!
