Pongal (பொங்கல், /ˈθaɪˈpo�ŋ�l/, also spelled Poṅkal), is also referred to as Thai Pongal (தைப்பொங்கல், also spelled Tai Pongal), is a multi-day Hindu harvest festival of South India, particularly in the Tamil community.[3][4][5] It is observed at the start of the month Tai according to Tamil solar calendar,[4] and this is typically about January 14.[3][1] It is dedicated to the Hindu sun god,[6] the Surya, and corresponds to Makar Sankranti, the harvest festival under many regional names celebrated throughout India.[7][8][9] The three days of the Pongal festival are called Bhogi Pongal, Surya Pongal and Maattu Pongal.[7]

u think kids nowadays mind weak like them?

Guys, judging by so much fiasco created by Jakim and those officials infested into Education Ministry, this mean no more future cultural festival celebration at school?

The logic according to Jakim and Top Level education ministry officials, celebrating other people festival will make these students embrace another religion.....like if student celebrate Hari Raya with other muslim students, will make them become muslim, or muslim students celebrate Ponggal with Hindu students will make them become Hindu, or hanging Tang Lung at school will make them become Buddhist and looking at Cross Shape windows panel will make all become Christians?

Are there many racists and chimney mindsets in Jakim and Education Ministry....who are these sad deep state officials? Can the "Acting" Education Minister put a stop to all these nonsense?

before complaining about this...first look at dong zong.....they say if teach teach jawi in only 3 pages will make student change religion...so now kene like this dont complain la....
