Include Songkran in Kedah’s calendar of events, says Umno man FMTNews
Songkran, commonly known as Thailand’s ‘water festival’, is the Thai new year celebration usually held from April 13 to 15.
Mahdzir said the festival celebrated by Thais in mid-April each year should be included in the state’s calendar of events in view of the community’s contribution towards Malaysia’s development. “When Barisan Nasional governed Kedah in the past, it always recognised the contributions of the Thai community to the progress and development of the state as well as the country,” he said, according to Utusan Malaysia.
