Should Malaysia ban Valentine’s Day celebration?
Saudi Arabia has asked florists and gift shops to remove all red items until after Valentine’s Day, calling the celebration of such a holiday a sin, local media reported Monday.
“As Muslims we shouldn’t celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women, ” Sheikh Khaled Al-Dossari, a scholar in Islamic studies, told the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper.
Since Malaysia has a majority muslim population, I’m curious why Valentine’s Day is so openly celebrated. Your views please.
St. Valentine was a Catholic priest in the later years of the Roman Empire. The emporer, firmly believing that single men made better soldiers, outlawed the act of marraige. Valentine continued the practice and forever sealed his fate as the king of romance! His heart is on display in a tiny church in Dublin Ireland if you are into Catholic relics…
Valentine’s Day been celebrated for decades locally.
Only recent years, it’s been too commercialized.
I don’t think Valentine’s Day should be banned, just because of it’s celebration of love (not necessary for couples but also for family, friends & etc).
Besides Saudi Arabia & Malaysia have (mostly) totally different style & government policies. You don’t see Malaysian women covered up & only hanging out with female.
We’re multiracial.
Even if Muslims don’t celebrate it. Others non-Muslim do celebrate it as well. The Chinese even have their own “Chinese Valentine’s Day, whereby they will throw tangerines into the sea/lake/river/longkang to connect to their other half”.
While the “eligible bachelors” will try to fish for the tangerines often with message note of name & contact & etc. lah.
Besides most S.Arabians – arrange marriage. While Malaysians it’s mostly Sendirian Berhad thing. Oh yeah the rate of divorce is increasing & the rate of marriage isn’t improving. It’s well known that many Chinese don’t get married nowadays & thus the decrease of offsprings.
While more & more Indians are marrying late citing unable to find a compatible partner or work.
So Malaysia shouldn’t & wouldn’t be so radical as to ban such a simple loving day.
S.Arabia are Muslim country & gov. thus it’s their right to implement such rules for their country & one have to respect it due to their beliefs.
